If sound is working from KDE events (you know, logging in, closing 
windows, etc) then the chances are that artsd is up and running. Open 
up a console and type:

ps auxw | grep artsd | grep -v grep

just to check (Tet will tell us now that we're not meant to check if 
it's running that way. :P ) If it is, then just type:

artsdsp realplayer

And realplayer should start up. It'll think it's writing to /dev/dsp, 
but in reality, it won't be cos those calls will be handled by artsdsp 
(and therefore artsd) And that's all there is to it.

Cheers,

Simon
