Hmm, I run without aRTs because it interferes with some applications attempts 
to use the sound. (DivX player Alpha 2.0, to name one). Because it takes 
control of the sound-card all non-aRTs enabled programs see it as busy.

I just have LookNFeel>System Notifications use an external player ( a script 
called sndplay that calls aplay)

#!/bin/sh
aplay -N $1

so that runs APlay in non-blocking mode so that It doesn't interfere with 
other sound.

aRTs should be a simple wrapper, any advanced functionality would be better 
contributed to ALSA.
