This means there is no solution for aRts? My configuration worked flawless 
with Fedora Core 6. 

I have tested some further and I think it has something to do with kmail. When 
several accounts have new mail kmail reports this event with a sound. For 
some reason this will cause the aRts deadlock/hang. How can I investigate 
this any further?
