Hiya.
I've been having this problem with artsd and alsa since I installed Arch. In KDE 3.4, artsd tends to use most of my CPU cycles whenever I have 'autodetect', OR 'Advanced Linux Sound Architecture' selected under Control Panel.
I tried installing and selecting Enlightenment Sound System for kicks, and it gets rid of the artsd problem, but nothing comes out of my speakers.
Alsa is compiled as a module. `lsmod` outputs the following:

jeezus84@theMotherland ~ $ So what's the deal? I've read all of the 'CPU overload' posts, but none of them have helped me so far.

Use OSS output, the emulation of OSS is far superior to the alsa protocol implementation many programs use.

Do you have a source for this? I can't notice any difference between the two soundsystems.

With GStreamer I am getting used to fucked up sound when selecting alsa plugin. The advantage of OSS over Alsa is that it's multi-platform, and not linux specific. OSS is an ancient standard that always works, while Alsa is continuously in development.

Try Xfce while you wait?
