Hi All, I'm running the experimental KDE 3.2.0 packages on sid. I'm seeing two problems with aRts (I'm assuming that they are related).
1. With all settings for aRts at there defaults, I get CPU overload errors when aRts tries to load (this usually followed by a segfault on knotify). If I change the hardware setting from auto detect to ALSA, they most of this disappears. 2. While playing back an mp3, through either noatun or juk, aRts consumes 30% of the CPU. With ogg vorbis files it uses 50% of the cpu. For comparison mpg123 uses 4% cpu and ogg123 uses 7% cpu while playing back the same files. I'm running kernel 2.4.24 using ALSA 1.0 on a PII 400. I also saw the CPU overload problem on an Athlon XP 2000+ (same kernel/ALSA versions). Has anyone else seen or dealt with these or similar problems? Thanks, James
