Cut that. aRts isn't maintained anymore. KDE is
heading for
another solution and currently (kde3.4) half of the players
in kde have their own plugin system to support different
soundservers / outputmethods to be independent from aRts...
It won't live longer than kde 3.5, which will hopefully be
the last kde3.x.
that's true, I forgot that. Thanks a lot for the pointer.
Best regards
