Firstly KDE does not build rpms. They only write source. All the rpm's 
on all the sites and mirrors are made by the respective ditributions.

You should find out from your didtros site if there are any problems 
with their builds. If you did not reboot after upgrading then you would 
have problems. You cant run 2.1 , exit to console, upgrade and then 
start kde2.2 because the old kde2.1 libs are still in cache.

Your sound problems have nothing to do with kde except start and end 
sounds probably need to be reset in notifications in control-centre. 
The permissions issue is totally due to your distro especially if it is 
being set on reboot.

A lot of problem with kde upgrades are fixed by deleting / renaming 
your home/USERNAME/.kde (or .kde2, whatever it was for kde2.1 on 
caldera), deleting any dcop-/username etc files and clearing out the 
/tmp directory then starting kde and letting it rebuild its .kde folder.

Make sure that your system is using the right QT. A lot of distros use 
links that need to be updated with a new QT. So make sure the variable 
QTDIR points to the location of where that new qt is installed ie: if 
QTDIR=/ust/lib/qt2 then qt2 should be the dir or at least a link to the 
dir where the new qt2.3.1 is.
