Thanks for the hint... There actually are errors. Some config option seems to 
be wrong. .xsession-errors shows that there is a -s <number> option applied 
when I check "autosuspend if idle for".  This option doesn't seem to be 
supported by my artsd. The message in .xsession-errors is:

artsd: invalid option -- s
usage: artsd [ options ]

server/network options:
- -n                  enable network transparency
- -p <port>           set TCP port to use (implies -n)
- -u                  public, no authentication (dangerous!)

audio options:
- -a <audioiomethod>  select audio i/o method (oss, alsa, ...)
- -r <samplingrate>   set samplingrate to use
- -b <bits>           set number of bits (8 or 16)
- -d                  enable full duplex operation
- -D <devicename>     audio device (usually /dev/dsp)
- -F <fragments>      number of fragments
- -S <size>           fragment size in bytes

misc options:
- -h                  display this help and exit
- -A                  list possible audio i/o methods (for -a)
- -l <level>          information level
  3: quiet, 2: warnings, 1: info, 0: debug
unable to connect to sound server

This is in my kcmartsrc when the suspend option is enabled:

Arguments=\s-F 8 -S 4096 -s 60 -l 0 

Is there anything I miss compiling arts or is the config module not in sync 
with the arts options?

I'll disable suspend for now.

Cheers,

Richard
