Ogle uses the native OpenBSD sound engine.
artsdsp  is a hack that should be able to map the OSS Linux API to KDE's
arts.

Since ogle does not use the OSS Linux API in the first place, there's no
way that can work.

It's probably easiest to write yet another back-end to ogle, possibly as
a flavor.

In fact, since ogle started using libao, looking at the divergence and
fixing it looks like it ought not to be too hard to do.
