 * This is an example for dumping things to a file. It demonstates, that
 *
 * a) you can use all aRts objects in a non-realtime environment (i.e.
 *    the time in the PlayObject will pass much faster than the outside
 *    time when dumping things to a file)
 * 
 * b) complayObjectnents will be dynamically loaded as needed
 *
 * c) you need to do small tricks to get the signal flow going when you are
 *    not having audio modules around
 *
 * d) by implementing aRts modules, you can easily grab and insert data from/to
 *    arbitary non-aRts sources - for instance, a wave editor might implement
 *    own modules to get the wave from/to memory
