running under SuSE11.2 x86_64, KDE 4.4.2 I guess you mean openSUSE 11.2 with KDE SC 4.4.2. "SuSE" and "KDE 4" are long dead.
ALSA The Linux sound architecture.
ESOUND, Not installed by default. Not needed. Dead.
JACK, Not installed by default. Not needed.
OSS, Not installed by default. Not needed.
ESD, Not installed by default. Not needed. Dead.
aRTs, Not installed by default. Not needed. Dead.
PULSEAUDIO, Not installed by default. Not needed. Sucks.
GSTREAMER, Codec architecture which just uses ALSA. No need to configure it.
PHONON KDE's abstraction layer. Only of interest for developers. No need to configure it.
and tools like XINE, KAFFEINE, MYTHTV and MPLAYER which go off in their own directions... codecs to locate... I mean seriously folks, for a user to set up and configure a sound system this is getting out of control! How to choose? What to choose? What and how to configure? What to install? Just live with the default install and don't try to mess with it. If you don't mess with it, it works fine. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
