The best way to fix it is probably to rearrange the code so that the Audio tab shows, then there's a [Detect] button that the user can click to run the autodetect code that might crash. At least then the user can set their Wine Audio settings manually.
There is a patch in Bugzilla (posted Sun) that simply catches the exception and avoids the crash that way. I think it's probably good enough for the arts business, it's a dead-end anyway.
aRts in and of itself is a b/uggy ha/ck, KDE is droipping it in the 4.0 release, Skype crashes if you use artsdsp with it and play sound, arts is also known to just segfault for no reason whatsoever. Best suggestion is to drop support for aRts entirely, it won't be around much longer.
