You don't *need* it, but xmms will lock the sound-device while playing and thus hindering kde-apps using it. One solution is to use vchans, but it sound *awfull* with my HW. An arts-plugin to xmms would be really nice, but I never got the plugin working apart from crashing everythin IIRC. Bjarne -- Homepage: http://www.mekanix.dk
