Ok, that is at least a working solution.

Oh well, all that versioning is a little confusing. That's why the TODO list
also includes updating the aRts web pages, which are quite misleading right
now.
aRts
====
- arts-0.3.4.1 is *very* old (> 1 year)
- the manual under http://www.arts-project.org/doc/manual/index.html refers
to aRts-0.3.4.1 (so it is *very* old, too)
- artsbuilder 0.4.0 alpha is newer (it comes with KDE2), and the first released
version with lots of new technology used, like MCOP instead of CORBA, and
KDE/Qt 2.0 instead of 1.x - that's the reason why some features/modules are
not available there
- the latest released version (which has more modules available again) is the
one which is included in KDE2.1beta2 - you can grab KDE2.1beta2 at
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/distribution/2.1beta2
there are mandrake packages, too
- to get even newer sources, you will need to use CVS, that is
http://www.kde.org/anoncvs.html
and compile KDE yourself
Brahms:
=======
- any Brahms version that requires qt-1.41 is outdated and will not work
with recent aRts versions anyway
- there are no snapshots of the most recent Brahms version yet (a new Brahms/
KDE2.1 version exists since ... two days now ;), so you need to compile
that yourself in any case, you can get it via anonymous CVS, instructions
again at http://www.kde.org/anoncvs.html, the module is called kmusic
