Re: audio problems

Dennis,

I killed the arts daemon and I'm still getting erros. These are the two 
erros on the shlle prompt:

libkimod.so.2: cannot open object file: No such file or directory.
Then when I hit the play button:

** warning **: oss_open() failed to open audio device (/dev/dsp): Permission 
denied.

As for the other window, it's just tellin me to check that everything is 
correct. I'm currenty using OSS driver or esound. They both don't work. What 
else should I check out?
