Nathan,

Sorry it took so long to reply.  I just found this email. I'm not an expert 
but will try to explain... The aRts is a part of KDE.  It's mainly for KDE 
related software and KDE sounds.  XMMS has the option of using aRts instead 
of OSS but I would just stick with OSS.  OSS and aRts can run at the same 
time.  You can configure it by running KDE Control Center.  Then go to 
Sound -> Sound Server.
