So, the apps dont have to change thier api, but are
still
compatible with JACK - thats great. Hopefull it also means that
when a consumer audio app underrruns it wont affect JACK, and the
arts server wont block.
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
