Really? Most of the musos I know are running Macs and just lurrrve OS X. Pretty is important. I concede that we probably aren't just talking about musos when talking about sound editing, but I think this should work in KDE and GNOME. I don't know if such a system exists but I thought I'd throw this out there in case someone knew something I don't. I think the coolest thing would be to be using jack rather than esd or artsd. I can kinda do this now, since there is now a jack output plugin for XMMS, but what I'm after is an esd or artsd replacement (or maybe just an option on the existing daemons that I don't know of) that passes all the work off to jack. Is it possible? James.
