That's the reason Rosegarden-4 still has vestigial aRts support in it, even though it doesn't actually work properly at the moment -- because it's the only practical possibility of getting RG to work with sound anywhere other than on Linux. And of course you can run aRts without running a KDE desktop; I've used it under wmx on BSD. Chris
