Hi again, I figured out that artsd was crashing because I was trying to play a .ogg without having emerged kdemultimedia with the vorbis USE flag set.
I added the USE flag, reemerged kdemultimedia (which wasn't autoemerge when I did emerge -ND world??) and artsd stopped crashing. So I guess, the more USE flags, the marrier. HOnestly though, is there some kind of standard set of flags one should have enabled? Also, maybe there could be a standard way of telling the user that the feature is disabled because of a USE flag instead of just crashing. Cheers, Ben PS.
