Yeah, I think aRts is great and amazing too, but I really don't understand at 
all how to use it.  I've managed to understand a few simple things but most 
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 compile a 
list of all of the software currently using aRts and places to look for code.  
This is one of the really great things about doing KDE development normally; 
if you don't understand something in the docs or it's not well documented, 
you have 100 examples right there to go and see how it's done.  I've been 
able to find 2 for aRts (Noatun and KNotify) and they were both written by 
aRts developers.

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

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

Thanks!
