Perhaps you should consider running artsd outputting to the *null* device.
That way all KDE applications are happy 'cause arts is running and
non-kde apps can use the driver themselves.
By the way, by not using arts, you also loose the possibility of having
separate apps playing simultaneously, don't you? (Please correct me if
I'm wrong; I'd be glad to know if this can be done without
artsd/esd/similar.)
