Did you mean to say "arts"? I thought that this was required to be able to
play KDE system notifications?
I checked again my settings. I have enabled the Sound System in Kcontrol, but
have set it to use alsa. However, under System Notifications I used to
have /usr/bin/aplay as the external sound player (under Audio Player
settings). Since aplay was hard masked a long time ago, I switched back
to 'KDE sound system' which I believe is using Arts. I recall dmix playing
nicely with arts by mixing system notification sounds with alsa. From your
messages I assume that although alsa deals with software mixing all on its
own it does not mix in nicely with Arts.
Since aplay is hard masked, what external player should I use? What other
options are there to be able to play system notifications, if I want to keep
alsa?
Thanks for your responses.
