Yeah but so does esd and jack and other sound system daemons.
This is all fine and good until:
1. you're a newbie (GUI-only)
2. you install a bunch of audio rpms (Mandrake and others)
3. esd/arts/alsa/jack/etc. all start walking over each other
Just hypothetical of course.
I assume the major complaint is:
"I'm a newbie, I don't want arts on my system ever, I don't have KDE,
and arts is somehow installed and on. How do I get rid of it?"
