(clug-talk) aRts upgrade?

[Jason Louie]

I've been having some issues with my sound where I would run xmms and 
theapplication would freeze.  Upon further investigation I found that 
/usr/sbin/lsof /dev/dsp showed arts was keeping the soundcard busy.  Now 
I haven't dealt with sound very much so I'm not 100% sure what I'm 
doing.  The first thing I decided was to upgrade the aRts rpm.  I 
downloaded arts-2.2.2-9.i386.rpm and attempted to upgrade.  This was 
what I got.

Since I'm attempting to install a newer version I'm very tempted to 
force the install.  Is this a good idea?  Does anyone have any other 
suggestions?
