sound muted by kmix after upgrading ALSA

[Arthur Marsh <arthur.marsh@internode.on.net>]

Hi, see http://bugs.debian.org for bug #448263: alsa-source: artsd fails 
to start with ALSA 1.0.15 and sound has to be unmuted in kde.

Apart from manually removing startup files for kmix, is there any way to 
avoid this problem?

Arthur.
