Hi All Just in case anybody's interested . . . I've just upgraded to KDE 3.2 and aRts 1.2, and this seems to have cured my problems with aRts audio (using UAE's SDL sound driver). With previous versions of aRts, UAE would segfault the second time the aRts sound channel was opened (aRts seemed to be leaking memory on closing - I was never able to pin down the problem precisely). Well, this no longer occurs with aRts 1.2. Of course, aRts audio is dog slow and I wouldn't really recommend to use it with UAE - but at least now, it seems, we have the option. ;-) Cheers, Rich
