Could be that the client cant find that font and isnt using an alternative maybe? (i shouldnt really reply to this as i know nothing but it may give u a faster answer)
try putting the arial font in the folder it says if it is not already.
\'Could not open fontfile /fonts/ttf/arial.ttf! \'

I don\'t have this /fonts directory. My Arial font is in /usr/share/fonts/truetype and begins with a capital. A link in /usr/share/fonts/ttf doesn\'t work.

Bute I\'ve tested without sound now and it works. I don\'t know why because the music don\'t stop playing if the psclient hangs.
