If we choose to use CSL, which seems reasonable to me, I feel it would be 
logical to lighten up aRts a bit, for example.  If we choose to use CSL, it'd 
also be possible to do the following (I'm not saying any of them are 
preferable, just possible)

	- remove full network transparency (as CSL can do that)
	- make it one artsd per application
	- remove a crapload of other features from artsd that nobody uses.

Rant:
I really wish that Linux would implement mixing in the kernel already, and 
also Alan Cox weren't such a dork and removing stuff like resamplers so that 
that mixing in the kernel isn't opposite.  Am I the only one thinks that 
hardware drivers belong in the kernel, and not in userspace, where OSS is the 
hardware.

And for the portability:
	everyone is cloning Linux
	99% of our users run Linux

Grr.
