On GUADEC the GNOME developers said they want to use aRts for GNOME 2. Wh=
y=20
build another one if there is already one - and a good one, too.

And btw, aRts is a lot more than only a soundserver. It's a complete "mod=
ular=20
analog synthesizer". aRts adds a whole lot new stuff to only being a=20
soundserver. For example it can also do the decoding of mp3s using mpegli=
b=20
(or whatever lib you write a PlayObject for).
