Er, that's because if you use a sound server you're meant to route *all* sound through it. If you're using arts, you should run xmms and mplayer through soundwrapper (run them as "soundwrapper xmms" and "soundwrapper mplayer", not just "xmms" and "mplayer"). If you look at Mandrake's menu entries for e.g. xmms, this is how they're launched. -- adamw
