All I know is that if I enable ALSA in KDE directly (integrated I810 sound),
sooner or later something can't play. If I use arts, everything plays
nice. I don't find it to be using that much of my cpu, but perhaps that's
because I don't use the computer to play sound in the background - if it's
doing audio or video (except for system notifications), I'm highly unlikely
to be doing anything else.
