Bug#225607: artsd fails to start with error "SNDCTL_DSP_SETFMT failed" on 2.6 kernel

[Elric Milon <truewhirm@yahoo.es>]

Package: arts
Version: 1.1.4-3
Severity: important
Tags: sid

on 2.4 kernel it runs nicely, but with 2.6.0-benh kernel it returns the
following error:

whirm@entropia:~$ artsd
Error while initializing the sound driver:
SNDCTL_DSP_SETFMT failed - Invalid argument

but xmms-1.2.8-2 runs perfectly!

(i2c support is compiled in the kernel)

With alsa drivers artsd has no problem at all... until  I put my ibook
to sleep (It complains about /dev/dsp being busy...)

Thanks
