Hi folks:
I think about a year ago I was experimenting with 'artsdsp' and Squeak. Arsdsp magically forwards all of Squeak's sound calls to a sound daemon. A year ago, it worked rather poorly with the nasty side-effect of driving CPU usage up to 100%.
I've been playing with it with the latest artsd shipped with the latest KDE and everything seems a lot better. Even speech synth (which didn't work a year ago) is working over aRts. I haven't seen the 100% CPU problem happen either.
So, for any aRts (or KDE, as I use aRts with Window Maker) users out there, you can just do 'artsdsp squeak SomeImage.image' and Squeak will magically work with aRts...I haven't had any problems so far.
I wonder how difficult a VM plugin for aRts would be?
