Ok, I'm doing the horrible thing of jumping on a list and sending off an 
email before the requisite amount of time on the list, so flame away.

I'm working on QTagger (http://www.slackorama.net/oss/qtagger/)--trying to 
get it ready for another release--and would like to be able to do a simple 
"play this mp3".  I looked through the arts documentation and found code that 
allowed me to easily play wave files, but really couldn't find anything that 
was helpful for playing mp3s except for a few indirect references (no code or 
documentation _how_ to do so) to kmedia2.  

The code that I through together in a test file is here:
===
using namespace Arts;

int main()
{
  Dispatcher dispatcher;

  SimpleSoundServer server(Reference("global:Arts_SimpleSoundServer"));
  if(server.isNull()) {
    cout << "error" << endl;
  }
  else {
    server.play("/opt/kde2/share/sounds/KDE_Startup_new.wav");
  }
  return(0);
}
===
Is there some way to do something similar to this with an mp3?  I found an 
old mail from 2000 where Stefan Westerfeld said something about how this 
might be supported in the future.  Did it ever happen?

So, I'd like to figure out how to do this.  Is there some source or good 
documentation that you guys can point me to?

Thanks,
