Arts
by Aurélien Gâteau on Friday 13/Jun/2003, @07:13

I would love to use Juk, or any arts based player. If it wasn't for the sound click when I either:
- start a compile.
- switch virtual screen.
- in fact, do anything other than staring at the player window (yes, this is a troll)

My box is quite decent (1.2Ghz 256Mhz) and XMMS plays audio without any problem. I have tried to increase the arts buffer, but it didn't work. Any interesting settings someone want to share?

One day, I'll try Juk with gstreamer :-)

you should enable "realtime priority" in KControl, this ends this problems. But maybe you also have to set the '+s' bit of the arts executeable; turn the error messages on (also in KControl) to find this out.

artswrapper is the binary to set the bit on.
After that + enabling realtime priority it's quite hard to get arts playback to skip except if you have IRC problems or you try playing files from a hdd that is currently busy with other things (you know, buffers aren't infinite *g*).

You're brilliant =D

Finally, I can use juk, an average of 4% cpu-time on a XP1800 for a sound server is still ridiculously high (mplayer can play mpeg4 videos using less =/ ) but at least it delivers

<scriptkiddymode> juk ownz u </scriptkiddymode>

Try this:

Go to kcontrol --> Sound --> Sound System --> Sound I/O --> Sound I/O method.
Change this to Threaded Open Sound System.

See if that helps at all.

Thanks for your answers. I'll try these settings when I'm back home.
