just started running kde (off the testing branch) recently and everything is 
fantastic EXCEPT for sound-wise.  all of kde's built-in sounds play find and 
artsplay plays waves as it should, but non-kde applications complain about the 
device being hijacked.  xmms says "/dev/dsp: Device or resource busy", mpg321 
says "Error opening libao oss driver. (Is device in use?)", audacity just 
freezes.  all of these programs work as usual under windowmaker.  i'm a member 
of audio, my /dev/dsp permissions are right:

crw-rw----    1 root     audio    14,    3 Jul  5  2000 /dev/dsp

this problem happens regardless of whether i start kde through kdm or 'startx'. 
 any advice?
