Wouldn't it be simplier to add support for arts as output module? This should
solve the problem in a very compatible way for most users. This way you can
for example listen to music via xmms with the arts output plugin while using
dosemu.

btw: I've tried to use artsdsp to redirect sound to an virtual dsp device
simulated through arts. Seems like dosemu is very "unfriendly" to the dsp
device... It wasn't possible to get it running.
