    I started KDE2 with 1.94, then 1.99, 2.0 and now 2.01 very close to 
2.1.  Thru all these upgrades mp3/Xmms sound quality got progressively 
worse. Finally I set (Contol Center | Sound | Sound Server) to "run 
sound server with real time priority" and UNchecked "Start aRts 
soundserver on KDE startup"  I did this both in root and my user 
desktops.  Sound quality is now back to what it was before KDE2/aRts
