I probably misspoke. KDE is using arts.  I don't know much about this, but in 
KDE sound system configuration, the hardware tab has the option to select the 
audio device - ALSA is one option, OSS is another, JACK is another, 
autodetect is another.  I've tried them all.  Currently it is set to ALSA.
