Is not aRts the way KDE supports different sound backends?

IMO, what we really need is a new frontend for soundcards. Someone
talked of gstreamer. Has it been finally selected as KDE4 sound system?
Future GNOME releases will be based on it, so (if kdemultimedia experts feels 
is a good product) supporting it would be a big step towards desktop 
integration.
