If arts isn't running at bootup why did killing it allow xmms to play?
...and what's the option to arts?
Arts also isn't listed under 'systems' in mcc... I thought it was in 9.1

I believe it showed up as selectable after I switched from Auto to Threaded
OSS for the audio device or maybe just after I re-started xmms - but it still
crashed playing a file using the arts plugin.
Now I have sounds from both streaming and a CD with the OSS plugin.
Also, before I got no response when clicking the 'test sound' button in
the configure KDE sound system - now I hear it.
The auto-suspend function was already checked with 1 second for idle time
Enabling the realtime priority doesn't seem to make a difference - xmms-arts
still doesn't function but OSS is fine, which is ok with me.... except I need
to
kill arts every time before xmms will play.
