I'm sure this has been covered in previous postings; if someone could 
gently steer me to the answers, that'd be delightful.

I've installed KDE 2.1 on a new XFree86 4 installation on a relatively 
clean Slackware 7.1 computer. The audio card is an Ensonique PCI card 
(the one supported in the kernel).

I can "cat sound.wav >> /dev/audio" and get sound, and I can do the same 
to /dev/dsp.

When I had kdesupport, kdelib and kdebase installed, sound (wav files 
anyway) worked. Then I screwed things up; I wanted Netscape and 
installed the newish (ends in .8 not .9) glib and gtk libraries, and 
then installed several of the kde- packages. Somehow, along the way, my 
audio  got messed up. So I recompiled kdesupport, kdelib and kdebase and 
reinstalled them (make install) (thinking there was an issue with those 
three and the newish installs of glib and gtk.)

Then I manually tried running artsd (artsd -D /dev/dsp) and had to be 
root to run it, which caused a problem with the dcop files (runner not 
user) so I did a suid on that process. But running that manually didn't 
solve the problem.

Any insight onto my floundering would be helpful. =)
