libxine has an endian problem with sending sound to arts. (It's Debian bug
190356, but it hasn't been noticed.) Perhaps you could ping the xine
developers about it.
Otherwise, if you install xine-ui and run xine using the OSS drivers, the
audio should work fine.

Yeah, sound on Linux is too complicated. ALSA now supports audio stream
mixing, so hopefully the arts/esd stuff will fade away (except that some
people will still want network independant sound, but hopefully that can be
NAS or MAS or ...).
