Ok, that is consistent with my experience. Since I just started using ALSA (with current versions 2.4.23 and 2.6.0) and I already like it ;-) I think I'll add a native ALSA output plugin. I usually don't use aRts since I have all kinds of troubles with aRts. Some of my most used programs like gnomemeeting (ok, that's gnome and not likely to work with aRts) but also kphone (which is a KDE program) don't work with aRts so I stopped using it. > I have noticed something interesting - if the arts buffer size is set too > large (not recommended for video editing anyway), piave starts to play the > video more slowly, which in turn seems to cause the audio to stutter. > Setting the buffer size too small also makes the sound stutter - although > that is the obvious one, where presumably arts cannot feed the sound card > fast enough. Hmm.. interesting.. Cheers, Rolf -- contacts: http://www.physi.uniheidelberg.de/~dubitzky
