arts, alsa, 2 soundcards: no sound in kde

[johnny geling <johnny.geling@chello.be>]

Hello,

After hours of searching I have finally alsa running on debian sid kernel 
2.6.3 (had to disable pci hotplug otherwise other kernel modules were loaded 
before alsa could be loaded)

I have two soundcard. One build on the motherboard (i810_audio) and a pci one 
(es1371). Both are visible with kmix and I can control both of them. I can 
use both of them directly using xmms for instance. But arts is not working. I 
have no sound with arts. How can I tell arts to use one of the cards? By 
using a /dev/dsp# (#stands for number)

.xsession-errors:

How can I let arts work with alsa ?
