Folks,

With reference to an email I sent to the list a while ago in a thread about 
video streaming:

http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-multimedia&m=97931658516972&w=2

I've finally cleaned up my work enough to post the patches:

http://eis.bris.ac.uk/~cedph/artspatches.html

along with a rough description of what I've done/am trying to do. It'd be 
great if someone who knows the inside of aRts could have a look over the 
patches and tell me if I'm way off the mark or not, and if what I'm doing 
could be useful to the main thrust of aRts development.

The patches there concern support for async and multi async streams for all 
basic types (float, long, byte, bool, string, most admittedly untested) and 
for additional types. There is still some redundant code in there, too.

Cheers,
Hamish

P.S. The idea of being able to attach metadata to data packets sounds 
powerful. I was experimenting a bit with using special data types to carry 
timestamps. Metadata is surely a better way.
