Latest version: included in KDE2.x
The latest aRts version is included with the latest
KDE version. One part is in kdelibs, and another part in kdemultimedia. So
if you install these two packages, you will have a complete aRts. At the
time of writing this, the latest stable KDE version is 2.0, the latest
beta KDE version is 2.1beta2, where the version of aRts included with the
2.1 beta is much more powerful than the one included with 2.0.
Brahms sequencer (daily snapshot)
Standalone version
If you don't use KDE (and don't want to use KDE), you can
still use the aRts soundserver as standalone application. There are
releases and daily development snapshots which will compile without
an installed KDE version.
Very old version
Before KDE2.0, aRts and Brahms used KDE1.x. At that time
aRts was also built on top of CORBA, and the version number was something
like aRts-0.3.4. You will find these versions still on older linux
distributions, and some of the documentation of this site here is also
referring to them (i.e. the manual), but should really be updated. Due to
porting, the new aRts versions don't yet support everything the old aRts
versions could do, but we're slowly getting there. On the other hand, they
support lots of things the old aRts versions could not do.
In any case, you can download these older software
versions here. Don't
expect them to work with recent environments (i.e. KDE2.x) though.
