G'day,

the current packaged version of KDE-2.1 doesn't have audio support
enabled. I managed to built a modified version with audio support
enabled after applying some minor modifications, however, artsd will
dump core.

Sofar, I've been unable to track this problem down. gdb will dump core
on attempts to read the artsd core file. A trace of gdb's core dump
will reveal the following:

(gdb) where
#0  0x481461a6 in cplus_demangle ()
#1  0x48146110 in cplus_demangle ()
#2  0x4814657a in cplus_demangle ()
#3  0x48142fbd in cplus_demangle ()
#4  0x48142902 in cplus_demangle ()
#5  0x48142836 in cplus_demangle ()
#6  0x808b7a4 in dladdr ()
#7  0x80925a1 in dladdr ()
#8  0x80675fa in dladdr ()
#9  0x8067794 in dladdr ()
#10 0x806799d in dladdr ()
#11 0x804bc67 in dladdr ()
#12 0x804afc5 in free ()

Should I PR this? 

cheerio Berndt
