It's not a Bug, it's a feature (people say...) But Arts is a real monster, I 
brutally removed the artsd binary from my system to prevent this CPU-eater 
from being loaded, and it's not really a pity that KDE multimedia apps won't 
start without it - they're crappy anyway.

Artsd is a tool for musicians to have flexible control about mixing and 
filtering of sound data, but in the name of hell, it is definitely not a 
suitable tool for every day sound access, just to hear system sounds next to 
mp3 playing - it is far too huge!
