Or; does my dedicated Linux based sampler/recorder rack box have to
run X, Qt, Corba/Mico etc, just because I want to base it's software
on aRts? Sorry, but it would *possibly* run SVGAlib and a clean,
simple, custom GUI.

...and meanwhile, *I'm* trying to turn this new API into something
that's generally useful in complex, high bandwidth, real time
streaming systems. It should require only the Linux kernel and the
most basic stuff around it. I'd be disappointed if a basic engine
and some plug-ins wouldn't fit on a bootable Linux floppy.
