If I've understood correctly, the sound drivers have been 
renamed after 5.2.1R. Does your copy of the handbook 
correspond to 5.1R?

It's supposed to - I was hoping you'd get some informative 
error message, but oh well...
What is the output of this, then:
artswrapper & ; artsshell status ; artsshell terminate

>   I really would appreciate it if you could help :(

Can't make any promises - I'm just guessing from a hunch, 
because I used to have a superficially similar problem.
