No. I'm using the stock 2.6.18 kernel (k7 variety) right now. I do not
get the CPU overload, even when I select OSS as my sound system. I can
play the test sound from the control center.
The test sound doesn't sound great, but that's probably a separate
issue. It's a bit odd: the problem seems to be only with the KDE login
sound, which also plays when I hit test sound. It starts OK, but then
ends up all distorted, sort of like the sound speakers make when they
are pushed past the volume they can handle. I get this on 2 different
systems, with different hardware (soundblaster vs Intel m/b making the
sound). Is it possible the sound is recorded improperly?
But I'm wandering. I would appreciate any advice about where might be
an appropriate place to file that bug about the KDE test/login sound.

I think this bug is OK to close.
