In my case, Arts always started.  It just needed a little help in the 
configuration department to actually play for non-root users.

I wouldn't have thought it was _needed_ at all. But if you already have 
problems with getting Arts to start because "something else has already 
grabbed the port and doesn't want to share", I'm surprised you get sound from 
anything.  I would have thought it was easier to get everything using Arts.
