You can't compare those as contenders. In most apps Jack and CSL do not make
much sense without a media-framework like Xine or GStreamer. Arts and MAS are
the only integrated systems.

GStreamer.
Pro: much more powerful than all the options that you have listed (full
support for video & audio, encoding & decoding); actively maintained backend;
very large number of codecs, converters, filters and effects, i/o plugins and
so on; already used by a KDE app (JuK); used by Gnome (thus there is a way to
write codecs for both DEs); intends to keep binary compatibility from 0.6.0
on; nice, Qt-friendly C++ wrappers :)
Con: i am not perfectly happy with its reliability yet, but it is improving
(and must be stable for the next Gnome version); backend is in C with glib;
right now plugins must be written using C/glib; no KIO source and sinks yet
bye...
