Surely not! artsd gets started up for KDE 3 apps, to support KDE 3 sound events and, in some cases, sound output from the KDE 3 app (though not many aRts-using apps are left). It only gets started up when you run a KDE 3 app. And it shouldn't be monopolizing the sound device. Please check that you have alsa- plugins-pulseaudio installed (aRts picks up the ALSA PulseAudio device which that plugin sets up). It also defaults to terminating automatically after 60 seconds of inactivity.
