arts is never needed for multiple alsa-capable applications to access
any sound card now, as the dmix plugin is enabled by default since
alsa version 1.0.9. OSS-only applications are still a problem
however, as only one can access the sound card at a time.
That said, arts is still useful for KDE 3.5 if you want sound
notifications for error popups, login/logout events, etc, as it makes
notifications perform much much better IME.
