Hi all. I had the same problem that was reported by several people on this list with the 2.2 artsd segfaulting.
A fix that worked on my system was to go into the control centre to the sound server configuration, move to the Sound I/O tab and manually set the sound I/O method. My machine uses alsa. The I/O method was initially set to "autodetect" which caused a crash. Specifically setting it to alsa also caused a crash, but selecting OSS has proved to be a success. Presumably it's using the OSS compatibility stuff built into alsa. Anyway. Bottom line is try manually setting the I/O method to OSS - even if you use alsa - and see if it works.

I'm an emotional player. I don't really like people. I prefer my piano to people. It's totally reliable and it's alive. I can hear what it's saying. For the most part, piano are female to me. Sometimes they're dykes, and they're always good fun. - Tori Amos, Mick St. Michael CD Booklet
