Kmplayer not interfacing with arts

[Jim Mahood <jmahood@advance.net>]

I just built kmplayer 0.7.4a from source, and am having audio problems.  It 
has no trouble rendering video, but it seems that it can't interface with 
arts for audio output.  It shows arts as an option for audio output, but 
effectively all that does is place "-ao arts" into the command line when it 
executes mplayer itself.  If I run "mplayer -ao help", I don't have an arts 
output filter listed.  Has anyone had and solved this problem?  I guess I 
could always hack the source of kmplayer and make it call "artsdsp 
mplayer...".

Thanks,

Jim
