There is also a prog that redirects sound to the artsd, so you don't have to kill it: (if you would normally do) # mpg123 track.mp3 (do this instead) # artsdsp mpg123 track.mp3 Again my success with this is variable, but give it a go and see if it works for you.
I tried that with Xine and it didn't have any effect, apparently that's classified as a bug with the arts people, but doesn't help me... The kill method works just fine, though, so long as KDE doesn't decide to make some silly noise whilst you're trying to press the Play button! >:-( Jon

It handles sounds events which are native to KDE, and is possibly laying claim to the sound card (/dev/dsp usually), blocking other software from accessing it. Xine doesn't go through artsd to contact the sound card, and thus would possibly throw a wobble. Hence why Jonathan was having problems. That's my theory, anyway.
