Thanks. I've spoken to the akode maintainer, and he's moved the problematic 
files back to kdemultimedia in the libarts1-akode plugin, so that they 
won't be installed when akode is not. This way arts should not crash 
regardless of the combination of packages installed. When KDE 3.5.0 is 
released/packaged and we also update our own akode package, then this 
problem should disappear.
