i'm running NetBSD-current and am having trouble with arts.

When i run artsd from the command line i get

bash-2.05b$ artsd -l 0
artsd version is 1.1.4
gsl: using Unix98 pthreads directly for mutexes and conditions

AudioSubSystem::handleIO: write failed

This might be a sound hardware/driver specific problem (see aRts FAQ)
bash-2.05b$

My sound card is supported and configured so any ideas?

My card is SiS 7012 AC-97 Audio.

I've asked on the NetBSD forums but no help.

Thanks.
