You do know artsd is no longer used by KDE, right?

Which KDE? The one people actually use (KDE 3.5) or the latest development-called-stable release of KDE 4?
Personally I've solved my KDE problems long ago by simply avoiding to use any programs that use KDE. It's gotten quite a bit easier to do that lately, of course.
But when KDE uses PA (either directly or through one of the dozen commonly used libraries which in turn can use PA) all of this will be a non-issue.

Bitter much?
What was the purpose of your comment besides hitting on KDE for giving you grief in the distant past?
And besides other people obviously have different opinions than you about PA. I would argue that a lot of people say(troll) the exact same thing about PA that you say about KDE.
Think about it.

KDE can use PA in 4.x through GStreamer, and likely the other backends as well (not sure which of the others support it, I think at the very least Xine does as well).
And in the 3.x series, you could easily disable aRts with basically the only application impacted being KNotify, which just requires you to tell it a different command to use to play the audio if you still want the audio notifications.
