Did you double check artsd hadn't immediately restarted, just in case? Another 
thing to check is if you may have recently upgraded, uninstalled or otherwise 
modified your mp3 decoder libraries. Try running artsd -l 0 as the 
troubleshooting sound faq mentions, then open a second terminal and try 
'artsplay /path/to/some/mp3'. This will give you a lot of verbose debugging 
output that might help us diagnose the problem
