Reason I asked:

I think aRts is necessary and I'm not for removing it, not in the least 
because klicker presently depends on one of the very unique features of it.  
I also understand why there is such a furor to deprecate it, I'm not very 
happy with it either under most circumstances, it does nothing but cause 
trouble.

I think KDE should always be able to use aRts, but I also think it should use 
other sound frameworks as necessary.  But that's dependent on aRts actually 
being maintained.  As it stands now is unacceptable.

I guess someone's gotta do it.

So.  I make no promises.  I have enough demands on my time already, and I've 
already tried to find a niche in this project several times to no avail.  But 
no one else seems to want to do it, and if we want to keep it, something will 
have to be done. So I'll go ahead and start trying to fix the grave bugs, and 
we'll go from there.
