libxine has an endian problem with sending sound to arts. (It's Debian bug 190356, but it hasn't been noticed.) Perhaps you could ping the xine developers about it. Otherwise, if you install xine-ui and run xine using the OSS drivers, the audio should work fine. > But if I could get something which made all the applications work, then that > would be best. But maybe that doesn't exist :-( Yeah, sound on Linux is too complicated. ALSA now supports audio stream mixing, so hopefully the arts/esd stuff will fade away (except that some people will still want network independant sound, but hopefully that can be NAS or MAS or ...).
