>Description:
With the default installation of kde artsd works but system sound
messages are not played with internal player.

Within the following sequence the sound is played:

~:1> artsshell terminate
sound server terminated
~:1> kcminit arts
~:1> artsshell status   
server status: running, autosuspend disabled
real-time status: not started through real-time wrapper
server buffer time: 278.639 ms
buffer size multiplier: 1
minimum stream buffer time: 278.639 ms
auto suspend time: 0 s
audio method: esd
sampling rate: 44100
channels: 2
sample size: 16 bits
duplex: full
device: null
fragments: 12
fragment size: 4096
~:1> artsplay /usr/local/share/sounds/KDE_Star_Ship_1.ogg 
~:1> artsshell status
server status: running, autosuspend disabled
real-time status: not started through real-time wrapper
server buffer time: 278.639 ms
buffer size multiplier: 1
minimum stream buffer time: 278.639 ms
auto suspend time: 0 s
audio method: esd
sampling rate: 44100
channels: 2
sample size: 16 bits
duplex: full
device: null
fragments: 12
fragment size: 4096

But with this configuration the sound is not played by the kde message system.  The button with the sound test plays the testfile

If I select artsplay as external player it works!
Somehow strange found no answer on the net.
>How-To-Repeat:
Activate system sound, select any default sound file, hit on the play button.
>Fix:
Ugly workaround: select artsplay as external player~:1> ls -d /var/db/pkg/kde*
