Point it at /dev/dsp0.1, and let xmms (and any other sound utilities) have /dev/dsp. Do check in /dev/ that the alternate devices are present. If your sound card doesn't support this option, you can in the same KControl module, tell aRts to exit after a certain amount of idle time (0 seconds is never, so set it to something low, like 5 seconds.) All aRts aware applications are able to restart it if they want it. You'll notice a small delay when starting something like Noatun, as it restarts the server, but nothing unreasonable.
