I have a similar problem on ACER Extensa 355 with OPL3-SAx Soundchip and 
ALSA-driver.Some applications work with sound (kmp3 from kde 1.1.2),others 
will freeze the machine (xmms).KDE 2.0 is trying to play the Startup-sound 
and will crash on this point.The problem is related to the driver and not to 
KDE 2.0 (IMHO).
