Hi there
Having similar problems in my opinion the multimedia system of linux needs some major corrections. It's not only xmms. It's also realplay etc. That means for me:
Listening music on noatun or juk (arts). opening the taskmanager, kill arts, open realplay and listen to a livestream. more than only a question for usuability as I think. Stopping realplay, starting noatun (or arts in kcontrol) and be able to listen to juk again (because juk doesn't start arts itself). hrmpf. Well - my only hope is that I miss something, but it's not the kcontrol option whether to start arts by kdeinit or not.

Maybe I haven't seen something.
YOu are right. But the solution is so simple. All applications should use alsa as backend. If arts is using alsa, then all arts-aware apps are yousing alsa in the end. If realplay would be of better quality, it would be at least alsa-aware... But it only knows oss. But if your artsd uses alsa as backend, then oss _is availiable for realplay_. I use it this way every day! Believe me, it works. Only change artsd backend to alsa! Daniel
