Arts can use alsa as output driver, but using arts to play songs through alsa is still no good, I recommend to install alsa-xmms and use xmms, you can even use winamp2 skins with xmms. If you want to use arts with alsa, then you need to recomplie arts now. > > Tom > > > -- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list > > > -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
