Q:

Is GStreamer a sound server ?

A:

No, GStreamer is not a soundserver. GStreamer does however have
plugins supporting most of the major soundservers available today,
including ESD, aRTSd, and to some extent Jack. Support for MAS is also
planned.


Therefore there is no reason both Gnome and KDE couldn't move to MAS
if MAS will do the job that esd/arts currently do.
