If Peter is using kubuntu then surely he would be having problems with artsd? 
esd is the GNOME sound daemon. Artsd tends to be better behaved than esd 
these days, although I always recommend disabling them as I don't really need 
sound notifications most of the time. In order to get sound working you 
either need ALSA or OSS. I recommend ALSA for serious music work.
