How do you stop OSS, Artsd, Gnome sound etc from Jumping all over each other?

You'll like artsd and it's support apps. With it running and having all your
sound apps using it, you'll never run into the various apps clobbering each
other fighting for sound resources. The other nice thing is, arts will run all
by itself... you don't need to load any other the other kde apps if you don't
want to. In my opinion, this makes artsd a winner as a sound server.

Yeah I know. I looked into it for the same reasons and even started a project
at work that would have been perfect for our purposes. However... the time
required to implement it and then maintain it was what killed it. It's easier to
take a distro and upgrade as needed.

Cheers.
