I sent this a couple of days ago but it seems the list processor went on 
vacation for a bit.  Hope it's not a duplicate ....
 
Like you, I get the "Cannot open /dev/dsp" message when aRts is enabled 
in the control center.  However, when I disable it so it doesn't start 
up on boot, I have sound; e.g. "play <somefile.wav>."  Mind you, I'm 
probably not a real good person to ask as I find sound on a computer 
more anoying than not so I don't really test that aspect very well but 
for the few things I do use it for disabling aRts seems to work.

This is a Sony VAIO laptop with the i810 chip set.
