Been using 3.0 for about a week. Love it. Hard to

I have 2 'easy' issues:

****

1. Soundcard doesn't work under KDE as user, but it
does under root. (I know, don't use X as root, t'was
an accident).

Error Dialog: Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (Permission denied)
The sound server will continue, using the null output
device.

Make sure that your normal user is a member of the "audio" group. This change can be done in umm, I dunno a gazillion ways, one way that I have used is to use "kuser". It is a graphical user management tool, you may have to 'apt-get install kuser' if its not installed and its pretty easy to use. So I hope that solves your normal user sound problem.
