Probably optional already if passing --without-arts to configure.

This links arts and kio and does some mimetype magic. I wish I knew what will
happen to it in the future.

mpeglib is dead, akode is the preferred mpeg-backend for arts, that's why
there's an "arts_plugin" in akode.

Does not get built when --without-arts is passed, i.e. it's optional.

arts is optional there too AFAIK.

Optional plugin, may the amarok devels correct me if I'm wrong here.

Hmm, no game in kde has sound? I can't believe that :)

Just for the record, Noatun3 in make-it-snow branch doesn't depend on it
anymore (it's optional and refactored into a plugin).

I think this is non-sense talk as long as there is nothing to migrate _to_ :(
Maybe the kdemm people could enlighten me and other "outsiders" about the
current state. I'm still waiting for it in order to write a Noatun3 plugin
for testing :)
