artsd in HEAD has support for MAS since end of last month:

http://webcvs.kde.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/arts/flow/audioiomas.cc

This means, at least when KDE 3.2 comes out, all KDE appl that use current
KDE sound framework will work with MAS.   Until then you can you NAS as 
'output' for KDE/arts, but don't expect too much from NAS ;)

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
