But now I have somehow mangled the sound configuration in my user

made no difference.

Very odd symptom is the if I open the Sound System KCM and click the:
"Test Sound" button, it hangs. No test sound is played and the button
stays down -- I have to kill the window.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Try removing the directory ~/.mcop

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't fix the problem.

After some time spent on trial and error, I traced the problem to:

$HOME/.kde/socket-localhost

Deleting this directory fixes the problem after two restarts of the X
session.

I have a theory as to what is happening, but need to do more work on it.
It appears that trying to view a video with NoAtun or Kaboodle (which
fails to work) is doing something to this directory.
