alsa + arts sound

[Justin Guerin <jguerin@cso.atmel.com>]

Hi list,

I'm having a problem I can't figure out with sound.  Alsa is configured and 
works properly, and so is arts, apparently.  I say this because XMMS plays 
just fine using the arts output plugin.

However, I can't get any event sounds to play via the kcontrol interface, 
even when I test the sound from kcontrol.  But the same sounds do play when 
I use the command line (artsdsp mpg123 some.mp3).  It even plays while XMMS 
plays.  But still, no event sounds.

I'm running sid, almost all up to date (KDE is totally up to date), using 
kernel 2.6.6 and alsa.  I'm not sure what package this problem could be in, 
so I'm not sure if this is a known bug.

If anyone can send me a clue, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Justin Guerin
