Once I found out that KDE starts the aRTs server
upon KDE Startup, I shut the think off immediatly.
I don't need another thing getting in My way. I do it
by going to...

--> Control Center --> Sound --> Sound Server --> (un)check "Start aRTs 
Server on KDE Startup"

I think it may require a reboot to (un)activate aRTs (just to taunt
you further... hehe).
