Perhaps aktion could gently ask aRts via a DCOP/MCOP call to stop using
/dev/dsp, play the movie and then tell it that it can grab the dsp
again.
aRts should also include a timeout to try to grab the device again in
some time if aktion fails to make the second call.

Stefan, is it very difficult to do so ? Something that can be done
before or after 2.0 ?
