Yes, sorry, that's correct.

I was blindly under the assumption that one would be using mplayer debs from
Marillat, which do not have arts support compiled in. (He has a note (as of
04/04/2003) about it on his webpage http://marillat.free.fr )
So if you compile mplayer yourself, or use another deb repository, then you
can be good with arts.
