[expert] ecasound and arts in kde2

[Bill Kenworthy]

Hi,
        has anyone been able to use arts (Mandrake 7.2/kde2) and ecasound and
its arts i/o module as input?  If I try and use arts as the input to
ecasound, it creates a 44 byte file only (wav header I presume).  I need
to use a mixer to attenuate the output from kwintv to stop it distorting
due to overload on input to ecasound using /dev/dsp.
