Well, arts provides a C style API called libartsc, which ships with artsd. However, it seems that in the long run, it would be more useful if not every sound server would do so and every application would require a huge set of backend specific code. So Tim Janik and I started to work on libcsl http://www.arts-project.org/doc/csl-0.2.0.html which is an attempt to take that burden off the developer and to provide a portable sound input/output library. If you just need output, you might also look at libao or libsdl. However, I think that in the long run, having one library that covers all needs (libcsl) is the right thing to do for the linux community. Cu...
