[mythtv-users] MythMusic works great, but MythTV = /dev/dsp busy

[jasonmiller at micron.com]

I have disabled artsd and made sure it wasn't running and I still get sounds out of KDE, presumably an OSS fallback?  I had to turn off all sounds on events to get KDE to leave well enough alone :)

I'm a big fan of just deleting the artsd binary and completely turning it off.  
=)  I've had it take over my machine a couple times (endlessly spawning 
copies of itself), and otherwise cause problems.
