I'm still not quite sure what sound layer an application should support in future. I feel that applications which are no _real_ KDE or Gnome applications shouldn't use ESD/ARTS/Pulseaudio anyway. Is that true? For example I have no desktop environment running usually and don't plan to run pulseaudio/arts/whatever just for one or two applications using it.
