...well I was playing with this last week. Without arts enabled in |
| 17 |
kcontrol, and KDE set to use an external player, I recall having a |
| 18 |
noticable delay between when a dialog appeared or other event occurred |
| 19 |
and when the sound would play. With arts enabled and playing sounds |
| 20 |
through it, the sounds played almost immediately. |

I could be incorrect on this though, as I was having problems with |
| 23 |
notifications playing in general, even through artsd (which I |
| 24 |
eventually traced to having artsplugin-xine installed _without_ |
| 25 |
artsplugin-audiofile, which caused artsd to want to play all audio |
| 26 |
through xine plugins, and fail with "unable to open file" more often |
| 27 |
than not). Others are welcome to share their experiences with |
| 28 |
external players and KDE notifications. ;-) |
