artsd crashes on start

[Tim Dijkstra <newsuser@famdijkstra.org>]

Hi,

I've got some problems witg artsd. I do not have root access to the machine, but I'm trying to find out what's the problem so I can point the computer guys in the right direction. 

My machine has the following soundcard:
Multimedia audio controller: Yamaha Corporation YMF-724F [DS-1 Audio  Controller] (rev 03)
and has the 'ymfpci' module loaded, with a host of other modules that have something to do with sound
ymfpci                 36768   0
uart401                 6224   0 [ymfpci]
sound                  57504   0 [uart401]
soundlow                 464   0 [sound]
soundcore               2608   5 [ymfpci sound]
ac97_codec              7472   0 [ymfpci]

Now the problem is this: When I try to start artsd it crashes with the following message:

bash$ artsd -l 0

... which means we'll default to oss

artsd: audiosubsys.cc:458: void Arts::AudioSubSystem::handleIO(int): Assertion `len == can_write' failed.

Sound does work okay with esd/gnome, but I want to use kde and that means arts (or not, can use esd instead?).

Does anybody has a clue what is going on?

Thanks,

Tim
