sound servers become available. its too bad the alsa guys don't just add
some kind of NAS to their official software distribution and make it work
flawlessly with their drivers/sound.
Arts was most definately not designed to work
transparently over the network.
rather than send the file for processing, arts will send a filename over the
network, so unless you tell arts to use NAS or ESD, it's useless for network
audio.
I agree it would be great to have alsa do that though
