FWIW, I've dealt with the problem as well (altho I have arts, its age is |
| 14 |
showing and it gets broken with some versions of KDE), so I know the |
| 15 |
frustration. An idea I haven't tried but which popped into my head as I |
| 16 |
was reading your post... what about creating a simple shell script that |
| 17 |
looks at the file it's handed and determines whether to call ogg123 or |
| 18 |
mpg321 or whatever, based on extension or what "file" thinks it is? |

Fortunately arts and the built-in events player are working for me ATM, |
| 21 |
but I may try this next time something breaks. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
... Looking forward to KDE4 and getting rid of arts! |
