I and some others have had some problems with the new alsa (> 1.0) and
KDE 3.1. They aren't quite the same symptoms as you described, but in
the end the solution was to set KDE sound I/O to use ALSA rather than
Autodetect or OSS. There's something about OSS emulation in the new
ALSA that isn't working, at least with KDE.
