------- Additional Comments From michael.s.gilbert@gmail.com 2006-01-10 22:11 ------- can you get your patch into upstream arts? then it will automatically be distributed to all distros.
however, until that happens i suggest that winecfg should detect the arts error and just disable the arts component in the audio tab.
