Re: What does this arts message mean?



Is the user a member of the audio group?

If not, try adding them...

If that isn't the problem, I wonder if there's a config file which is 
suggesting that that user's sound device ISN'T the normal /dev/dsp...

If you look in KControl in the Sound server setup, is anything unusual there?
