It's not a Bug, it's a feature (people say...) But Arts is a real monster, I brutally removed the artsd binary from my system to prevent this CPU-eater from being loaded, and it's not really a pity that KDE multimedia apps won't start without it - they're crappy anyway. Artsd is a tool for musicians to have flexible control about mixing and filtering of sound data, but in the name of hell, it is definitely not a suitable tool for every day sound access, just to hear system sounds next to mp3 playing - it is far too huge! -- ----- Thomas Ritter
