yes, we'll be providing a simple, generic API for apps that need to do the
basics ("play this bit of audio now", pause, stop, fast forward, rewind,
etc).

but we'll also likely be picking a "preferred" engine that we use for the
bulk of our testing as well as for apps that need access to more advanced
audio features.

Please, please phase out arts. It is another layer, uses obscene amounts of system resources, it hangs a lot, adds more latency to audio, and has stupid capitalization (which I don't remember right now). Plain ALSA (with dmix) does the trick for me.
