I'm running cooker/KDE, and I've recorded successfully using krec - but it pretty much sucks for anything other than the most simple recording. Although I can get many other non-KDE progs to playback through artsdsp, I can't get them to record in that configuration. If I need more than krec can give me, I always end up shutting down most apps, killing artsd and then using the apps "native" recording mode. I'm seriously considering getting USB audio for all my recording stuff, since I have no more PCI slots. It would be REAL nice if we could get a common "multi-open" interface across all of Linux. Of course, I believe this would work the best if done at the driver level eliminating the need for artsd, esd, jack, etc. Anything "higher" than the driver means that the apps have to be developed to that API, as opposed to the "normal" audio API so you'll never have all apps work and play together. I'm sure I'll get kicked for that point of view... TTFN, Lonnie Borntreger
