A proper and sensible abstraction for KDEMM is the right way to go. Would you rather do something like play->(soundfile), or link directly and heavily into an MM framework like GStreamer? At the moment, using GStreamer means strapping yourself to it, using the C API and creating a lot of god-awful, unmaintainable code. You would end up in a worse situation than there is with arts at the moment.

There are certainly disadvantages to using wrappers and layers, but a rule about layers is that every one should add value. This one certainly does.
