Package: artsd
Version: KDE 2.2.1 
Severity: normal
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          gcc 2.95.3
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

arts daemon can lock sound while usin ALSA drivers.

kill -9  helps (arts disappear)

probably no check to see if it is obsolete, or using /dev/dsp instead of /dev/dsp0

run kde. run xmms. play. 
run other program using /dev/dsp
play

arts daemon can't recover, it have to be killed, 
and KDE uses /dev/dsp properly then
