i recently went through this after something broke in arts. I turned off the |
| 42 |
KDE sound system and in the System Notifications dialog, |
| 43 |
specified "playsound" as the external player (found in sdl-sound package). |
| 44 |
You can also use "mplayer" but the module is enormous. Everything works |
| 45 |
really well now, with no drop-outs during the KDE Start/Stop fan-fares. :) |
