## Detailed Description

KArtsServer is a wrapper to conveniently get a reference to a SoundServer, and restart artsd when necessary, using the kcontrol settings.

Of course we'd rather that artsd never crashed, and that all users start artsd on KDE startup, but at the very least there will always be third party PlayObjects that will crash. So, this is necessary.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KArtsServer::KArtsServer | ( | QObject * | parent = `0`,
|  | const char * | name = `0`
| ) |

| Create a new KArtsServer. Don't forget to create a KArtsDispatcher before using KArtsServer. Definition at line 34 of file kartsserver.cpp.

## Member Function Documentation

Arts::SoundServerV2 KArtsServer::server | ( | void |  | ) |

Get a verified reference to the SoundServerV2, (re)starting artsd using the kcontrol-specified settings if necessary.

If the soundserver has changed since you called this method the last time (meaning artsd was restarted) restartedServer() will be emitted.

void KArtsServer::restartedServer | ( | void |  | ) | `[signal]`

| This is emitted when the soundserver has been restarted (by this KArtsServer instance or outside). It is not emitted automatically when the soundserver comes up but only after your code calls server(). Referenced by server().
