k, i guess i'm still very much in the dark on the topic of audio in linux, but
can someone explain to me what i'm missing in the following logic?
i have a soundblaster live value card which (as far as i know) is very much
capable of mixing multiple channels of audio. does this mean that i should
have multiple copies of /dev/dsp? (ie. dsp1 dsp2 etc.) and do i need arts
then? if i don't, how do i disable it forever in kde?
all i want is to be able to play video/mp3 files and play flash movies with
reasonable performance kde, but even on this sweet athlon 2500 w/ 512mb ram,
i've not been able to get that. please tell me i'm missing something.
