Synth_AMAN_PLAY will only work if you create the objects on the server instead
of inside the client. So
Arts::Synth_FOO foo;
becomes
Arts::Object obj = server.createObject("Arts::Synth_FOO");
if(obj.isNull()) arts_fatal("we have a problem");
Arts::Synth_FOO foo = Arts::DynamicCast(obj);
An alternative would be if somebody completed the cascading style audio
IO we talked about already on the list: we'll need to have a way that aRts
objects can create the sound locally and output it to another aRts server,
such as
a) an Arts::AudioIOArts driver for the AudioSubSystem
b) an Arts::Synth_ARTS_PLAY thing, that forwards the data to the sound server
whereas b) can be made more efficient/generic than a).

Have a look at what exactly fails. If the code just can't open /dev/dsp because
artsd is running then - well - thats what I would expect. If the code should
be able to open /dev/dsp, then maybe something is wrong with AudioIOOSS (it
should select the bits to 16 or 17 on open, so the assert should not occur).
