I'm having the same problem, also with a PowerMac G4 AGP, but using KDE 2.1.1 for potato, and kernel 2.2.18. My only clue is an old message from Kevin Puetz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> dated Aug 31, 2000: >aRts (the soundserver) does not currently work on PowerPC, >so many of the multimedia apps will be silent - I have >some fixes locally that make it work, but they need more >polishing before they go in. Perhaps these fixes never made it into the final distribution? (It appears that the combination of debian-powerppc and KDE is somewhat rare and unusual. Most developers posting to this list seem to be using GNOME...maybe I should switch?)
