Hi John,
I tried. I lookede into a XMMS config file. I saw nothing related to arts plugin.
Try from the GUI: Options->Preferences->Output plugins... There are a lot of interesting options there :)
I could find nothing about how to enable the arts plugin.
This is the KDE sound server, and can be enables/disables from KDE Control center... A rough way would be killall -9 artsd (not recommended :)
Good luck Eduard
