The only error message I get is not helpful: "There was an error loading
the module. The diagnostics is:"
No diagnostics given. By the way, this started with an unstable
upgrade, about four weeks ago, back then still KDE 2.1.1. I had no
hardware changes nor did I change the kernel at that time. It just
stopped working silently. After the upgrade to KDE2.2 beta, some other
modules stopped working to, as I already posted "/me smacking my head"
or something.
Sound and artsd themselves are working as usual, I think this is a bug
with kcontrol. Erasing ~/.kde did not help (but was an enlightening
experience nonetheless).

No, that doesn't work either. I start artsd with `artsd -F 16 -S 4096`
from the KDE command line. After this everything works fine, but
obviously it's not part of the KDE session management, because I have to
do that everytime I log into KDE. (I turn my machine of every night,
and doing this every single day is annoying. This is not Windoze after
all. :)

Doesn't exist on my system unfortunatelly. Makes sense though, because
I erased ~/.kde and `kcmshell arts` can't create this file, because it's
broken itself. :(
Can you send me your file as a sample?

Hmm, looks ugly. I'll give it a spin.
Thanks,
