Thanks, it worked. I now even have sound under X, even though artsd doesn't start with the option for alsa-compatability. I've yet to figure out why :)The artsd from libarts-alsa doesn't like alsa 0.5 when the alsa option is activated, I think. If you have alsa 0.5 you'll have to install 0.9.x or so. Or just keep the OSS setting or "autodetect" ;). And you might have to run /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/examples/snddevices once if you haven't done so yet (creates the alsa devices in /dev).
I forgot to answer this, but I was being stupid: the ALSA library for artsd wasn't installed anymore (probably lost it in fiddling with the setup).Selecting 'autodetect' doesn't work BTW; sound in KDE only works if I select ALSA itself as 'sound I/O method'.
