Gqmpeg has the same problem. This is a FAQ. I belive that artsd will release the dsp port after a minute of inactivity. What sound card are you using? If it does not support multiple playback channels, you might be able to use the 'vchan' feature of the pcm driver. Also, some applications can be configured to talk to the artsd process. > The movie player "aktion" doesn't work at all on my system.

If you prefer esd, you can disable artsd from the KDE control panel, then load esd instead via some startup script.
