Could it be that arts can share the sound card on your other system because your sound card driver supports multi-open, but the one on this system doesn't?
I don't think that explains why it DID work but doesn't now though. Also, you could set arts to suspend after a set period of inactivity so that other apps can get a chance to play their sounds (just not at once..) - I think that suspend means close /dev/dsp.... You can configure this from Control Center -> Multimedia&Sound -> Sound server.
