Yes.  I know deps are a good thing but once in a while I like to threaten my computer in hopes of it doing what I want. ;-)

/usr/sbin/lsof /dev/dsp showed arts was keeping the soundcard busy.  Now
    

two options: you can run xmms through artdsp: "artsdsp xmms". this will fake 
out the app to think that arts is the dsp device. or you can install xmms' 
native arts output plugin. i'd recommend the latter.

  

Since I'm attempting to install a newer version I'm very tempted to
force the install.  Is this a good idea?
    

fighting against the deps is usually a _very_ bad idea. dependencies are there 
for a reason.
