How to make KDE arts play nicely with Alsa

I just wanted to share my experiences.

 

System: Vaio, AMD laptop with VIA soundcard, Alsa (snd-via82xx)

 

Problem: When artsd is running nothing else can access the soundcard. soundwrapper is

too slow for somethings (e.g. vice) and I want xmms to use alsa plugin.

 

Solution: Make artsd suspend after 1 sec. But you can only do this if you disable

full duplex operation! see attached snapshots and http://www.kde.org/areas/multimedia/arts-faq.php for further info.

 

So if you accept a delay of 1 sec in the beginning, arts gets out of way. But this is

just a workaround as only one program can access soundcard at a time.

Whole thing with alsa, dmix, and arts is a mess.

 

Anyway, I hope this helps others, too.
