I would not recommend using aRts with mplayer. Mplayer is written for
synchronization and aRts messes it all up: it just has a too big delay and
the buffer simply rips control from mplayer. No good idea at all.
Arts would make sense when startet like a normal daemon (startup script) as
root with realtime, no buffer and a device file or something equivalent to
access it (no need to program _for_ it).
The problem with linux is that there is absolutely no standard way to do this.
Alsa in 2.6 will make the situation better but the mixer daemon (and nothing
else aRts is good for) is neither standard (aRts, esd, nas,...) nor does it
even has a standard API.

Alsa does no mixing at all except the cases where the hardware itself support
multiple channels.
