This is a misconception on your part. The general consensus is that the
artsd, esd, gstreamer... servers are *very* useful just not for
professional audio needs.
I am pretty sure that people who only need to browse and hear mp3's at
the same time have a fully functioning system with kde and gnome. Seeing
as they are the standard desktops anyone who cannot install a different
desktop would be even less likely to be playing around with professional
audio. If they are trying to then they need to either learn how to use
their computer more effectively like everyone else round here or get
someone to do the work for them.
If they want the latter thought they will have a hard time finding
contact details because we haven't yet made a site that provides that
info. LAD centric of course.
I am working on it now and hope to have it finished in the next few
days. At that time I hope the people on this list will use it as a resource.
