(gotta love that knoppix gramar)

how can i fix that....... thanks in advance
In a console window ps xa | grep arts find the number it returns for arts sound server then kill number_of_sound_server or go into the perferences of xmms and choose use arts for the output plugin instead of oss if arts plugin is not installed then as root in a console window apt-get install xmmsarts and then choose to use arts plugin.

In answer to your poll there is no question Jimi Hendrix.

[edit]
Also you can disable arts on startup by going into the sound & multimedia -> sound system -> arts tab and unchecking the start arts on kde startup in the control center. BTW now that I notice the grammer in the error message is the same in any distro I have used not just knoppix.

Now that I notice more again you spelled Jimi Hendrix's name wrong.
