Hmmm, that is weird. Starting it a second time might be why it states that /dev/dsp is busy, the artserver running as the regular user (weird) already has the device busy. I shut the aRTs sounderver off, and went back to OSS Driver with xmms. I have no problem with any app except k3b to play songs before burning (it only works with arts server). I didn't like the flaky operation of arts. Under Redhat, Preferences-->Sound-->Sound Server, there is an option that I unselected that 'start the arts sounderver on KDE start'. You might try that. That option is somewhere in configDrake, Preferences, somewhere.

P.S. If you needed the sound drivers, you wouldn't hear anything. The drivers are fine, the sound server is not behaving.
