You don't ever need to call dispatcher.run() if you don't implement a server
process. It is only required if you want to process i/o and/or timers. For
artsplay something like

main()
{
	// more init
	Arts::PlayObject obj = ....;
	while(obj.state() != Arts::posFinished) sleep(1);
}

should do.

dispatcher.run() will terminate as soon as you call dispatcher.terminate().
If you laugh out loud (how could you call dispatcher.terminate() while
dispatcher.run() is running... from where?!?), you probably don't need it.

No. There is code in aRts which will clean up on client crash and similar
stuff. But maybe you found a bug in artsd, here.
