You've got alot of "it"s there, I'm not sure I'm following you...

aRtsd uses /dev/dsp, if that's what you're asking.

I've had fits on and off with artsd, and I'm far from an expert on it, but arts-1.0.3, as supplied with KDE 3.0.3, seems to be much better behaved than the 1.0.0 which came with KDE3.0. There's an arts web page... hold on... http://www.arts-project.org/

Maybe you'll find some answers there...

Regards, 
Tim
