It's not useless, though.  You yourself inferred from it that it appears to be 
memory corruption of some type.  Which is, incidentally, a conclusion I would 
agree with.

To see what's causing it though, can you report back as to your compiler 
version, and whether that has been your compiler version? ;)

Traditionally C++ libraries have need to be rebuilt on major compiler 
upgrades, and if you forgot a library (especially one that uses STL), things 
may appear to work alright even though the slight library incompatibilies are 
slowly corrupting memory.

Or it could just be a normal memory-eating bug. ;)

I could be wrong but from my understanding the aRts engine is not 
well-maintained.  Have you tried gstreamer or xine-lib's engine yet?
