I'm kind of hoping arts is replaced with jack as jack is suitable for both 
desktop and professional audio users.  The jack developers are reluctant to 
put resampling inside of the server, they would rather the client resampled 
using a library like the one I suggested.  The intent is to keep the server 
simpler.  I'm not sure if they will change their mind when jack is more 
widely used for general purpose audio like we are doing with wine.
