Not only that, but arts isn't even appropriate for real time audio.

Most audio api let you know what sample they are currently playing (as opposed
to what's currently buffered),this is very handy to synch audio/video (see
ogle for how it's done). arts doesn't offer that feature, you have to use
very small  audio chunks and hope your machine will be fast enough.
