Well, alsa got installed, found arts running which has lock files in /tmp/ksocket-root/Arts* Gonna try to stop artsd and see what objects are left. But, there is still no references to alsa in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ arts / alsa ...it is becoming just a little more conflabberated than I would ordinarily like. Just one app. Just one /etc file. Just one /home/.user_peculiar file. Just one sound-setup that handles all of the above. That would be priceless. And, wouldn't hurt my purty 'ittle 'ead.
