I don't care either. But you should fix the configure-checks as well to 
require aRts 1.2 or 1.3. 1.3 would be best since the native (non mpeglib or 
akodelib) ogg-vorbis playback was fixed to not use silly amounts of CPU.
If people dont like the dynamic glib dependency they can just statically link 
it, since that would be the same as what happened in aRts 1.1.
