After extensive debugging, it turns out to be a problem with the arts
plugin (why this wasn't found by whoever wrote the arts plugin I have
no idea).

Basically, the plugin (libarts.so) links to libartsc.so, which links 
to pthread libraries. libao loads the plugin, which eventually gets to
loading pthreads. All is well at this point. However, because ogg123 
isn't linked to libpthread.so, it crashes when dlclose() is called.

This makes precisely zero sense to me, and I'd call it a bug elsewhere
in the system. Unfortunately, it's a bug which must be lived with, so
I suppose we should fix it. This means either linking ogg123 with 
pthreads (ick.), or removing the arts plugin (hmm..)

Further testing shows that linking libao with pthreads is sufficient.
Does one of the auto(conf|make|whatever) gurus want to make libao 
link with pthreads if any of the plugins link (directly or indirectly)
with pthreads?

Michael, pissed off at pthreads.
