[Gllug] Audio conflict

[Norman Duncan]

Thanks for the various suggestions.

I tried tinkering with the sound card set up ... It seemed to work 
better for a while, then got blocked completely... wouldn't plat 
anything ever, even after reeboot. So I reset that to default, and it 
goes on as before.

Then I had a look in the KDE System Guard:
In the KDE System Guard the Real player seems to be running three times. 
I wonder if it can be in conflict with itself. .... I kill two of these. 
(Also there seem to be 6 mingetty, 8 netscapes and 7 nscd identicle 
running .... I wonder if it is this that is making my system run slowly)
And  for some reason KMIX is running at the same time. When I kill this 
in the system guard and restart Real player then it runs ok .... well 
till the next time.

It would be good to know how to stop all this stuff setting itself up in 
the first place.

Simon -I have no idea how to go about using artsdsp or esd..... but 
would love to try if its not too complicated.

Norman
