Arts is KDE's sound server. Usually it is a pain (with some systems, because 
most drivers don't support multiple opens of /dev/dsp (sb 512, live and above 
do, as do I believe the es137x cards. and some others)

Either I missed it or you haven't said what sound card you have. (And distro- 
I think you are using rh7.3 based on other emails, if not please say) also 
helpful would be what lsmod (which driver it is) and potentially dmesg 
reports. (not the whole thing, just what relates to sound (for example I have 
a Creative card that uses the emu10k1 and ac97_codec so that would be all I 
need.)

To me it seems like a messed up kde config. I used to have it on a computer 
with a pretty bad sound card with older versions of rh. either that or the 
sound card and driver aren't well supported. 

The tmp/mcop-John (assuming John is your username) should be owned by 
john.john (chown john.john /tmp/mcop-John) *

*most unixes and clones (*nix) don't have people use any capital letters 
because it makes things more difficult at times. If you did set it up this 
way, you should capitalize any letters caps in the username, becasue unlike 
DOS/Windows, *nix is case sensitive.
