Anyone want to defend the use of artsd?
I'll take a swing. It's a working way to get multiple stream output
for applications. Yes, we would scoff at its performance but that's not
important. I don't really care if xmms and gaim have some amount of
latency in their playback. All I care is that the sound comes out
within a reasonable amount of time.
So this would let there be two classes of audio apps - important ones,
and unimportant ones ::-). Important apps like ardour can use JACK directly
and have synchronized operation and low-latency. Unimportant apps like
gaim can just go "bong" at some point when they need to.
