Update
This is strange. Alsa is working properly but KDE soundeffects aren working

. Can this be due to the missing arts flag? Anyhow I remove the the -arts flag.

Yeah it looks like KDE System Notifications uses arts only (they call it 'KDE Sound System' in the KControl i suppose) and can't use alsa instead. I've not noticed it because I turn off all system sounds anyway... The only workaround I found is to use external player to play those sounds (yay for KDE's configurability) in KControl --> Sound & Multimedia --> System Notifications --> Player Settings (like ogg123 or mplayer). But this is of course sub-optimal...

Thanks for figuring this out!

Here's a workaround for it

Essentially, you make a script that'll call aplay for you. And if you like mpg123 instead of mpg321 just edit the script. Then change the system command that is called to be that script.

Thanks, it always good to have a workaround :wink:

. For the purpose of binary packages for Gentoo I'll just include the arts USEflag.
