I Cc the list, they may know more and reply earlier :) KDE configuration
offers under sound -> soundsystem a 'autosuspend if idle for: x
seconds' option. You can also disable 'start aRts soundserver on KDE
startup'. Then you lose the software mixing of multiple audio streams
capability of aRts as well. Under the 'sound i/o' tab you can select
'use custom sound device'. That's only possible AFAIK if your sound
hardware and the driver support hardware mixing. ALSA has its own
software mixing of multiple audio streams capability with the dmix
plugin. I have never tried it though.
