Hash :30a9139b Message :arts: backed out audio capture support.
Turns out that libartsc isn't thread-safe, so if we run a capture and playback
device at the same time, it often crashes in arts's internal event loop.
We could throw mutexes around the read/write calls, but these are meant to
block, so one device could cause serious latency and stutter in the other.
Since this audio target isn't in high-demand (Ubuntu hasn't offered a libartsc
package for years), I'm just backing out the capture support. If someone needs
it, they can pull it out of the revision history.
