13 I've also solved a lot of my problems by disabling the arts sound system
14 in KDE and just using straight up ALSA. I think back in the days of OSS
15 something like arts or esd was really needed since OSS only allowed one
16 process to use it at once, but now arts really gets in the way. I was
17 recently trying to do some recording and couldn't for the life of me get
18 the recording software (Audacity) to both play what I've recorded and
19 record at the same time. Once I turned off arts the program Just Worked
20 (TM). YMMV :)

26 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people
27 for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him
28 who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were
29 not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received
30 mercy, but now you have received mercy. ~1 Peter 2:9-10
