knew what you were talking about ;-)

Don't really know, artsd uses /dev/dsp. I don't *think* it creates another 
device. Let's do a little RTFM'ing...

OK, it looks like you're supposed to run your sound app thru artsdsp. At least 
according to:
http://www.arts-project.org/doc/handbook/artsdsp.html
How well it'll work, I don't know. You could always try it out and let us know 
:-)

HTH,
