You have several options that may help:
1: As suggested, set arts to exit if idle (any arts aware application that=
=20
needs it will start it up again when it's wanted)
2: Run realplayer through arts sound with "artsdsp realplay" - you'd probab=
ly=20
want to alias that, and you'll likely experience some latency (slowness,=20
skips, unsynched sound and video) with streaming media.
3: As suggested above, but, instead of trying to figure out how to teach=20
realplayer to use a different dsp (I don't know that either, sorry), in KDE=
's=20
control panel, in the sound server module, choose "use custom device" and t=
ry=20
setting *it* to /dev/dsp0.<n>.  That will still leave you with xmms and=20
realplayer to fight it out for the default dsp device, but, at least you ha=
ve=20
arts out of the way, and it's unlikely you'd want xmms and realplayer both=
=20
running at the same time.

You could use 1 and 3 together (well, you could use all three together, but=
=20
that's probably overkill.)
