Hello all, I'm running FC2 on a Dell Latitude c840 laptop. I'm running also SuSE 9 there. I'm trying to make xmms behave properly. I need to enable the aRts plugin on xmms so I can listen to music while I still get kde sound notifications. The problem is that, by selecting the aRts plugin on xmms, there's a noticeable delay when I change the volume there. If I lower the music, I'll do it, and 2 seconds later the volume lowers...If I stop the music, it takes 2 seconds before it stops. This sucks. I can't change the aRts plugin to ALSA or other because other apps won't be able to use the sound device. This is a cheap integrated card. The funny thing is that in SuSE 9 (kde 3.1.4) using XMMS 1.2.8 and aRts plugin 0.4 none of above happens. I lower the volume, and imediately you see the results. I wonder if this is a kde 3.2 (artsd) issue or should I try the xmms 1.2.8 and aRts plugin 0.4 combination that comes with SuSE? Thanks for any help. Jorge
