From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040312 Epiphany/1.1.12 Description of problem: Since Fedora ships with GNOME as the default desktop, and using ALSA drivers I could not simply 'esddsp artsd' or 'artsdsp esd' it would be nice if arts could be preconfigured to use esd for its output. A KDE power user would probably know which global settings file one could do this in, but the per-user file is ~/.kde/share/config/kcmartsrc, and the relevant setting is 'AudioIO=esd' With this set I now have my GNOME apps (and KDE games) happily coexisting. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): arts-1.2.1-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable ESD 2. Run KDE sound-outputting app (say KReversi) from within GNOME Actual Results: a KDE warning is outputted in a message box that the sound server could not bind to the sound card and it would set up a null audio card instead Expected Results: Sound Just Work (TM) Additional info:
with kcontrol you can easily select your default audio device. the default audio divice will be ALSA.
