anyone having problems with noatun?

[Tim Kelley <tpk@iww.org>]

I'm running the ltest KDE2.1 with potato.

Lately (I can't remember after which update) whenever I try to play a file 
accosiated with kde media player (noatun) my cpu goes straight to 100% and 
nothing else happens.  I've tried playing files from the terminal to see if 
anything useful ... I get this:

noatun ./blah.mpg
 
 ** Warning ** unix_connect: can't connect to server 
(unix:/tmp/mcop-tpk/pimp_winkinc_com-0220-3ab69d5d)
Launched ok, pid = 1214
 
 ** Warning ** unix_connect: can't connect to server 
(unix:/tmp/mcop-tpk/pimp_winkinc_com-0220-3ab69d5d)

I am running artsd, ps ax gives me this:
tpk@pimp:~$ ps ax | grep art
1214 ?        R      0:28 artsd -F 5 -S 4096 -d -b 16

"ls -l /tmp mcop-tpk/" gives me this (excuse the wrapping):

total 6

is anyone else having problems?  All I can do at this point is "killall -9 
artsd".  At some point everything was working fine ....
