IMO,
1.  It's a separate tarball, it should be a separate package.
2.  As is, requires hackery in the xmms specfile to use the just-built, 
but not-yet installed xmms-devel files.
3.  It adds a dependancy on arts, which not all folks want/need (unless 
it has been upgraded to the artsplugin-0.7.1 that is)... ( and AutoReq: 
No shouldn't be used either)
4.  When/If artsplugin is ever upgraded, won't require a rebuild of the 
entire xmms.

(Most of the same arguments can be made for packaging xmms-skins 
separately too, especially since it can be .noarch and be shared among 
all archs).
