Hmm...
by Richard on Tuesday 18/Sep/2001, @12:34
The Idea behind Noatun is quite nice. The problem is it just doesn't seem to work. Upto now I never had a version that didn't crash right away after starting to play a simple .wav or .mp3 file. I regurlarily build CVS versions and right now I'm running 2.2.0. Well, maybe I have to wait a while. Until it's ready I'll use xmms...

Cheers,

Richard

You should expect problems when running the CVS version, specially because of changes in arts.

The best thing you can do right now is try KDE 2.2.1 and if that doesn't fix your problem, report a bug.

My first impressions of noatun where also not good. It was ugly and complex. But now in kde 2.2 with a nice skin I like it.

I also use mostly xmms. The reason is simple: xmms doesn't use the soundserver and blocks the /dev/dsp device so I don't hear the embarrassing kde window manager sounds when listening music :-)))

    You know...you could just turn off the windomanager sounds....

    I use xmms too...mainly because I'm used to it......but I use the arts output plugin.....

I had the same problem until 2.2.0. I didn't use it much when I ran 2.2.0, but I've been stressing it quite a bit since I pulled 2.2.1 from CVS early last week and it's been solid.
