Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. aRts, which stands for analog Real time synthesizer, is an audio framework that is no longer under development. It is most famous for previously being used in KDE (series 2 and 3) to simulate an analog synthesizer. A key component of aRts is the sound server which mixes several sound streams in realtime. The sound server, called artsd (d for daemon), is also utilized as the standard sound server for KDE2–3. However, the sound server is not dependent on KDE and can be used in other projects. It is a direct competitor to JACK Audio Connection Kit, another real-time sound server, and an indirect competitor to the Enlightened Sound Daemon (ESD). It is now common to use ALSA's software mixing instead of artsd.
