Yay, let's revive ARtS! Only this time, it's new, and only have half of the 
features! :-D

Everything works perfectly *today*, if you don't use Pulse :-P

I would much rather see some generic icecast output support (or something like 
that) in Phonon, for the usecases that Pulse tries to cover (network-
transparent sound). Or maybe just in Amarok. Another layer in the audio stack 
is just the wrong way, imho.

But have fun hacking!
