Let's hope the JACK support in arts is built that way then - a bit of liaison required with the KDE folks, perhaps? Maybe it's just me, but if I'm listening to or recording music I don't really want bings and beeps being sent to the soundcard by every program running on the desktop. I guess that's why I never missed artsd after I disabled it... Cheers Daniel
