 MacOS X (at least in 10.2.8) does not support the poll() API.  Instead,
 it uses select().
 
 audio/arts appears to depend explicitly on poll() and provides no
 option for select().
 
 Apple Technical Note 2071:
 
     http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2071.html
 
 discusses this and suggests using:
 
     http://sealiesoftware.com/fakepoll.h
 
 to satisfy such requirements.
 
 Testing underway now...
