The benefit of a setuid artswrapper is basically that you will get decent audio playback even when your machine does more than light i/o (for example untaring a distfile while building a port). I won't revert this to the previous off by default because almost all users of KDE have "run with highest possible priority" set in the soundsystem options and "Why is music still skipping while I build a port?" is a FAQ. -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi@freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBAREHtXhc68WspdLARAkRGAJ4z7LMmOMOM8+kE4/q33zgXG2ExnQCeIafk AOU80dOpjLqq+4mRRWI9o4E= =iOt4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
