There is now. KAudio -> KAudioPlayer. For old (or new?) non-KDE-games like
quake (and other apps like xmms), the solution would be a C Api, which
experimentally exists, but needs to be finalized.

About documentation: I've written a chapter in the Macmillan KDE2
Development book, so something should be on the web in the near future
(as its an open license).

There is also the kdelibs/arts/doc directory. However I know its a bit
incomplete, and specifically the part "how do KDE and aRts interact" or
"how should KDE and aRts interact" or "do we need more special purpose
wrapping classes like KAudioPlayer" needs work.

   Cu... Stefan
