    You can play stuff with alsaplayer even when artsd is dead because alsa
    is the *system* sound system, and artsd is just (basically) for KDE, and
    artsd talks to alsa which talks to your soundcard. Since artsd is
    strongly deprecated in upcoming versions of both KDE and SuSE, try
    turning *off* the "use sound server" checkbox in the KDE sound control
    panel. KDE apps should then use alsa natively and everything should be
    OK. That's what I've done and it works.
