have you sent this patch upstream?
I'm playing with arts 3.4beta... and I have a simiar problem. could you post how you applied the patch and still had it emerge?
i added a patch for the ebuild. if you use a portdir overlay you should: 1. copy the ebuild in the PORDIR_OVERLAY example: cp /usr/portage/media-plugin/xmms-arts/xmms-arts-0.7.1-r1.ebuild /usr/local/portage/media-plugin/xmms-arts/xmms-arts-0.7.1-r1.ebuild 2. save the patch in the same directory 3. apply the patch example: cd /usr/local/portage/media-plugin/xmms-arts/ patch -p1 xmms-arts-0.7.1-r1.ebuild < xmms-arts-0.7.1-r1.ebuild.patch 4 create a subdirectory 'files' example: mkdir files 5 save the previous patch (for audio.c) as files/xmms-arts-0.7.1-eintr.patch 6 create the digest example: ebuild /usr/local/portage/media-plugin/xmms-arts/xmms-arts-0.7.1-r1.ebuild digest 7 emerge xmms-arts otherwise u could do the same on the original ebuild but every time u do an emerge sync, your patch will be lost. it's better to configure one overlay by setting the PORTDIR_OVERLAY variable in your make.conf

sorry but i think there's an error in my previous post #4: patch -p1 xmms-arts-0.7.1-r1.ebuild < xmms-arts-0.7.1-r1.ebuild.patch should be patch xmms-arts-0.7.1-r1.ebuild < xmms-arts-0.7.1-r1.ebuild.patch
I don't use arts, so someone else needs to test this.
After almost 2 months of daily use with this patch, I never experienced the problem again. I think the patch is ready to go in portage. In reply to comment #2: no because i couldn't find an official mantainer. Probably this plugin is not largely used and if there's no official mantainer, it should probably be removed from portage. Nevertheless I find it useful and I hope it won't.
Had the same problem after the last glibc-update (glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r1). I used this patch, worked also for me.
in portage, thanks for testing.
