Hiya, So I got this info about aRts from here http://www.kde.org/info/
it says aRts Multimedia Architecture KDE 2.0 introduced a new multimedia architecture based on aRts, the Analog Realtime Synthesizer. ARts enables playing multiple audio or video streams concurrently, whether on the desktop or over a network. ARts is a full-featured sound system, and includes filters, a modular analog synthesizer and a mixer. Its architecture allows developers to create additional filter plugins and users to apply sequences of filters using a graphical drag-n-drop approach. Video support is available for MPEG versions 1, 2 and 4 (experimental), as well as the AVI and DivX formats. so aRts is KDE specific, not necessarily RH8.0 thanks for the tip about checking the modules, I will try that out -kg On Tue, 11 Mar 2003, Manas Laha wrote: > Kaushik Ghose wrote: > > > Well, I booted up the ol machine tonight, and like a man guided by forces > > beyond his control, I logged into root on console, loaded > > the sound module (insmod sound), logged into root on x, disabled roots > > arts , logged out, logged in as user (in X) and hey, whaddya know, > > sound works ! > > Pardon my ignorance, but what is arts?
