On the contrary, the driver disallows mmap for 32bit task on 64bit
architecture.  This is because the size of the mapped record is
different between 32bit and 64bit architectures, so it cannot be
shared.


BTW, with the recent version of alsa-lib, you no longer need artsd
unless you want a network transparent.  Disable it on kde control
center.
