50 Hi Dale,
51 Recently there were a number of threads about "arts", most people had disabled 'arts'.
52 Just put "-arts" in your /etc/make.conf as a USE flag, then run:"#emerge -N world -av".
53 There will be all the apps required a recompile but w/o 'arts' - so hit Enter.
54 Could use (IIRC) alsa + dmix or as in my case esound (but it's from Gnome).
55 In many messages there were a hint about 'arts' going away from KDE (check Google).
