According to kdelibs/arts/soundserver/*:
artsplay creates a SimpleSoundServer, which has a plugin? architecture.
Currently there is a WavPlayObject.mcopclass to allow for playing wav
files. Other file extensions can be added to the architecture by
creating the appropriate mcopclasses?
That's my quick understanding from the code...
kde-devel@kde.org would most likely be a really good source for some of
this as well. After all the implementers/maintainers spend a good deal
of online time there.
