I am the wrong person to ask. I don't run 9.2 because of issues with my HPT372 controller and only need to run soundwrapper to prevent conflicts with Realplayer alone, all the other multimedia apps that I run have built in arts support. If I had to make a guess, I would say that this is because some developers don't anticipate arts running constantly and controlling the sound device, thus they try to access it directly and that causes conflicts. As to why that experience would be different with previous versions of Mandrake, I am not sure, I can only talk about what I have installed and run on my machine. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
