Thanks for your reply. At least now I don't feel so alone with this
problem.
Actually, I'm using 2.4.20-686-smp (see the "uname -a" entry in my
original message). But the same problem has been there for me in
2.4.{18,19}-686-smp, as well.

Well, since I can hear KDE's startup music, and since mplayer's oss
driver properly produces sounds for me, I do think that it's somehow a
driver problem. But the mystery is whether it's an xine driver problem,
a kernel driver problem (perhaps mplayer and KDE use their own sound
drivers which bypass the kernel), or what ... ???
