That's right, and it will stay like that until KDE and GNOME will adopt
a sound-daemon that is able to do a bit more than just play sound. ESD
and Arts (arts being better) are in most-cases unable to render a good
sound quality when low-latency is required like it is the case with
GnomeMeeting.

There is hope with new sound daemons like Jack for example, they just
need to adopt something like that :)
