...well I was playing with this last week. Without arts enabled in
kcontrol, and KDE set to use an external player, I recall having a
noticable delay between when a dialog appeared or other event occurred
and when the sound would play. With arts enabled and playing sounds
through it, the sounds played almost immediately.
I could be incorrect on this though, as I was having problems with
notifications playing in general, even through artsd (which I
eventually traced to having artsplugin-xine installed _without_
artsplugin-audiofile, which caused artsd to want to play all audio
through xine plugins, and fail with "unable to open file" more often
than not). Others are welcome to share their experiences with
external players and KDE notifications. ;-)
