I had huge problems with audio latency, which caused a long delay when adjusting settings or stopping playback in XMMS, when I was using arts, the KDE sound system. So I abandoned arts completely, and now everything is instantaneous! (Well, near enough for the casual user - I'm not a DJ!) I switched over to using ALSA, with the ALSA XMMS plugin. Packages and instructions are available on freshrpms.net Gnome has a similar sound server (is that ESD?) I don't know anything about it as I don't use Gnome. If you have a half-decent soundcard, you don't need an audio server such as arts as you can do all the mixing in hardware. Jonathan -- http://jonathan.rawle.org/
