Linux, *BSD, OS X sort of... ) of those that are in wide use. Was there any indication of what KDE would be replacing aRts with, because, despite the difficulties it's probably the most portable sound architecture used by opensource audio, compare aRts to ALSA for example.
From what I can tell, all of the code that uses aRts in KDE (other than the basic "play PCM audio" functionality they could get from esound) is going through major bit-rot. aRts itself has sparked a major war over it's inclusion after their adding a dependency on glib2. And while aRts itself is portable to a bunch of places, the aRts midi code in kdemultimedia only supports linux (and I suppose maybe some of the *BSDs if you use the commercial OSS drivers), as far as I can tell.
I'm a maths student, and former Java programmer who knows just enough C and C++ to be dangerous, so I suspect that writing a coreaudio driver is way, way beyond me, I'm still coming to grips with autoconf and make. However to whatever extent I can help, I would like to. At the moment however I'm not quite sure where to begin, although line 1 of artsmidi.h or coreaudio.h are probably two reasonable guesses.
Well I know even less C/C++, I don't write my own code, I'm just good at tweaking other people's code to build. :)
I'm starting to understand some of the basic concepts in this stuff, but audio processing is a tricky beast, and I haven't even gotten to the midi bits yet in my travels.
