aRts is not the only library giving trouble here. Here's one caused by ALSA:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4901
Getting rid of aRts may cripple Wine on older systems, and it won't
solve the problem. We can't rely on all 3rd party sound libs to be bug
free, especially since there's a lot of dodgy homebrew systems out there
built by people who *think* they know what they're doing...
Allowing users to use the Audio tab in WineCfg without forcing possibly
buggy libraries to load is a better option.
