If you run kcontrol (KDE Control Center) you'll find a [Sound] node. 
Open that node to find a [Sound Server] node. Select that node, 
uncheck the box marked "Start aRts soundserver on KDE startup". 
Click "Apply", and you'll get a message warning you that stopping 
the soundserver could confuse currently running processes or crash 
them. Click OK, and restart X and KDE just in case.

Unfortunately, artsd is *extremely* ill-behaved with regards to 
allowing non-KDE apps to access the sound devices. I first 
encountered this problem while using SuSE Linux six months ago, and 
was ready to replace the sound card when I noticed that killing 
artsd solved the problem.

Happy hacking!
