However, is there any way to have it work without killing artsd. Sometimes my girlfriend, who is not computer savy, uses mythtv and doesn't know how to restart the sound server after that, to do something else. I compiled mythtv with the alsa and arts options. However, it still conflicts with arts. When I run the mythtv  setup I only have /dev/dsp or /dev/adsp as options in the sound device selection. If I choose the first, it happens what I described above. If I choose the second, it complains about the device being non-existant, even if it exists on my system

/Type/ in the appropriate aRts device name.
