Yeah, I think aRts is great and amazing too, but I really don't understan=
d at=20
all how to use it.  I've managed to understand a few simple things but mo=
st=20
of what I have done is to copy other code and *hope* that it works.

One thing that would be nice, and should be really easy, would be to comp=
ile a=20
list of all of the software currently using aRts and places to look for c=
ode. =20
This is one of the really great things about doing KDE development normal=

if you don't understand something in the docs or it's not well documented=
,=20
you have 100 examples right there to go and see how it's done.  I've been=
=20
able to find 2 for aRts (Noatun and KNotify) and they were both written b=
y=20
aRts developers.

I'm willing to start compiling a list like this.  Can those of you using =
aRts=20
send me projects that you're working on or know of and which classes/file=
s=20
use aRts?  This wouldn't be *real* documentation, but it would help me an=

probably others.

I have a simple class from QTagger (that I'm trying to extend now) that p=
lays=20
mp3s (and probably other media types, though I haven't tried yet). =20

Thanks!
