"H du Plooy"
Uhm, the reason why I'd like to use artsd is because multiple apps can use the soundcard at once. Is that what you mean by multi-channelled?
Yes, for example the SB Live! is multi-channelled- it can play more then one sound at a time.
I think I'll compile arts from source and see if it helps.
Yes, try that using the opts for your CPU. For example: -o3 -march=athlon -m3dnow -ffast-math Also, I just notice something peculiar in your first post:
I remedied it by setting the priority/cpu-usage in KDE's control center under sound system, to "high cpu-usage" or low latency (can't remember the exact terms).
You should go the other way around- low CPU usage which increase the buffer size. The sound and video will be slower to start, but the sync should be better, since the buffer is bigger. This is the same trick media players use to stream online video on a slow link.
