I hope they haven't messed up hardware mixing in FC2 as it would be nice to have proper ALSA support built into the distro. If you have a soundcard that supports hardware mixing, I strongly advise against using artsd (I don't use Gnome, but I presume the same goes for esd). When I used arts, it introduced a whole second of latency into the sound system. Now the only problem is stopping arts from loading itself! Jonathan
