I found a note on the Yellow Dog pages that Sound I/O should be set
to 8 bits (instead of 16). I did this, but KsCD remained silent. On
the other hand, there was a change as regards xmms. That application,
too, is silent now. (It lists three possible problems, none of which
I know how to fix.)

And yes, artsd is running.

I'm completely clueless. At one time, when I tried to look at
the arts status, it said things were not well and asked whether some-
thing called 'artswrapper' was suid root. It wasn't and I changed
it (to suid root). It didnt't help, though.

KsCD is starting to look like a lost cause.
