Interesting point. I've still got KDE1 on my home desktop machine, and I
get sound just fine.
bj@morpheus:~$ ls -l /dev/audio
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 4 Jul 5 13:44 /dev/audio
bj@morpheus:~$ id
uid=1000(bj) gid=1000(bj) groups=1000(bj),<snip>,29(audio),<snip>
I've found that the first place I should look when I run into weird
problems like that is at permissions. (Not that I always follow my own
advice/eat my own dog food, which usually results in me banging my head
against the wall for a while...)
