I recall reading the explanation somewhere on the KDE site on why artsd will hold a
lock on the sound device, but as I recall the
lock is like for 30 or 60 seconds... Reading the explanation I seem to recall
thinking it was a lame hack solution to the problem
of dealing with multiple opens on older sound hardware that can't handle multiple
opens. I forget where this was but it was related
to artsd.
