Sort of.  By default XMMS talks directly to /dev/dsp.  This approach only allows one program to use the sound card at a given time.  aRts instead runs a sound daemon which talks directly to /dev/dsp.  The daemon can handle multiple inputs and will mix the sounds together.  Using the aRts output plugin lets XMMS talk to the sound daemon instead of /dev/dsp.
