I just repsonded to the personal mail that AG sent to me. AG, I actually
wrote the responce yesterday, but my laptop and I just found our way to an
internet connection today. ;-)
For the list: basically my repsonce was that aRts doesn't auto-suspend in
full duplex mode and that for non-aRts applications to produce sound that you
need to use "artsdsp".

"Every minute dies a man, Every minute one is born;" I need hardly point out
to you that this calculation would tend to keep the sum total of the world's
population in a state of perpetual equipoise, whereas it is a well-known fact
that the said sum total is constantly on the increase. I would therefore take
the liberty of suggesting that in the next edition of your excellent poem the
erroneous calculation to which I refer should be corrected as follows: "Every
moment dies a man, And one and a sixteenth is born." I may add that the exact
figures are 1.067, but something must, of course, be conceded to the laws of
metre.
