You have several options that may help: 1: As suggested, set arts to exit if idle (any arts aware application that needs it will start it up again when it's wanted) 2: Run realplayer through arts sound with "artsdsp realplay" - you'd probably want to alias that, and you'll likely experience some latency (slowness, skips, unsynched sound and video) with streaming media. 3: As suggested above, but, instead of trying to figure out how to teach realplayer to use a different dsp (I don't know that either, sorry), in KDE's control panel, in the sound server module, choose "use custom device" and try setting *it* to /dev/dsp0.<n>. That will still leave you with xmms and realplayer to fight it out for the default dsp device, but, at least you have arts out of the way, and it's unlikely you'd want xmms and realplayer both running at the same time. You could use 1 and 3 together (well, you could use all three together, but that's probably overkill.)
