You could write one.  It is possible to make your own aRts objects.  See 
kdemultimedia/noatun/library/arts for an example.

After it's written would be the time to discuss whether it should be 
included in aRts.

That's a common complaint.  But, as long as there are only complaints and 
nobody willing to dig in and make the documentation, the complaints will 
keep coming.

In my experience, by the time someone's learned enough to be able to write 
docs, he's spent enough time learning that he needs to go back to working 
on what he needed the docs for! :-)
