I didn't want to say that this things are senceless. I understand that some 
people will find them useful (but I (personally) dont). I just wanted to note 
that *for now* and *for me* arts sucks. I will be _very_ glad if someday aRts 
will become a powerfull multimedia system -- then I'll like it and I'll use 
it...

But please, don't get too offencive -- it's just my opinion. After all it's an 
opensource world -- anyone chooses what he likes best ;).

I have such a functionality w/o using arts. I use SBLive/Alsa and it works 
great for me.

I already have one, but it can't react to iconify/deiconify events :).

I wish you luck! I think, aRts needs a lot of improvements. I beleive in your 
programming skills, your KRec works very well and I like it! :). 

Thanks for reply, Arnold.

Dmitry.
