I encouter this CPU overload problem while running artsd with the "Open Sound System" output chosen, as well as running artsd with the "autodetect" setting turned on (which seems to use OSS, too). Switching to ALSA solves this problems, so maybe you want to have a look at your Sound System Settings. All this is pretty annoying since artsd with the ALSA device chosen produces a quirky sound on my laptop, while using OSS, the sound is good - until the CPU (P4 1.8 GHz) "burns". On my Desktop PC (AMD TB 800 MHz), ALSA works fine, but OSS also eats my CPU. I'm running the same kernel there. Both kernel have ALSA compiled in with OSS emulation, not OSS itself.
