Living without aRtsd isn’t bad at all
aRts is the old KDE Sound daemon which appeared around Version 2.0 of the KDE. Its purpose was mixing multiple music channels in real time – in other words playing a beep sound while playing music and so on as the common soundcard wasn’t able to do this. Later on hardware and drivers moved on and the main developer retired from the project. In other words, the project went pretty dead and is depreciated by now.
