Cut that. aRts isn't maintained anymore. KDE is heading for another solution
and currently (kde3.4) half of the players in kde have their own plugin
system to support different soundservers / outputmethods to be independent
from aRts...
It won't live longer than kde 3.5, which will hopefully be the last kde3.x.
* esound
* ALSA/DMIX

replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
