Dear Andreas, Thanks for the prompt reply. I'll take a closer look at 10.0. In the meantime I have found the configuration settings for amaroK and Kaffeine to allow these to work without arts. In Amarok, Settings -> Configure amaroK -> Engine -> Gstreamer Engine, output plugin -> osssink (using packages amarok-1.3.1-4, amarok-gstreamer-1.3.1-4, gstreamer-0.8.11-3) In Kaffeine, Settings -> PlayerEngine -> GStreamerPart (using packages kaffeine-0.7-7, kaffeine-gstreamer-0.7-7, gstreamer-0.8.11-3) To play videos, I need to remember to change the Kaffeine engine back to xine. I can't find any similar settings for JuK or Noatun, so I'll have to do without these. Best regards On Mon, 3 Oct 2005 16:49, Andreas Jaeger wrote:

Why does SUSE Linux depend on software which can't be fixed because it is not maintained by anyone? What is supposed to have replaced arts by now and why doesn't SUSE 9.3 use it? What does SUSE 10.0 do about this?
At the time of 9.3, arts was the only solution to handle such stuff. It takes some time to come up with an alternative and integrate it. The KDE folks (the upstream maintainers!) were not ready for this with KDE 3.4 which we delivered on 9.3. With 10.0 we moved away from arts, backporting the new KDE framework (sorry, don't remember the name).
In the meantime, how do I rip arts out of my system and what do I replace it with? gstreamer?
SUSE Linux 10.0 ;-)
