sound delay in KDE3 SDL games

[Craig Williamson (ENZ)]

Hi Dan,

	What sound card have you got?  I've got a VideoLogic Sonicfury (TB
Santa Cruz) and I have the same problem.  The cause in my case was the arts
system (sounds like it's the same problem you have got).  The work around
you can do is don't use artsd at all.  ie use a smaller window manager like
enlightenment or twm.  Another quick fix that sometimes works, is if you
have a sound card like mine, force artsd to 44100 kHz in the KDE control
panel.  This should provide some temporary relief.

	If you need more information, send me your sound card details.  Hope
this helps.

This has been driving me insane for quite a while...and I just
figured I needed to upgrade, but now with KDE3 there is no
improvement.  I go to play Maelstrom and there is about a 5 second
delay in when the sound happens for a particular event.  I have
tried

artsdsp Maelstrom

with no luck.  The only way to fix it seems to killall artsd and
then play...but then I get all of these strange problems...

Suggestions?

Dan
