New amd64 system with KDE, trying to get sound working. Almost there. First
issue I had was that the sound driver apparently doesn't work if compiled
into the kernel. If you compile it as a module, it does work. Second, I
didn't have the -arts flag enabled before I compiled KDE. (Followed the
install instructions at the Gentoo wiki. Not sure if it omits to mention it
or if I skipped it when reading.) Then added new useflags for various
codecs. (In the last couple of days, I've recompiled all or most of KDE
three times.) I now have sound working, and can play MP3s. I can not,
however, play ogg vorbis, including the system sound oggs.
Use flags are:
USE="64bit widescreen -gnome offensive slang unicode mozdevelop kde \
kdecards xinerama opengl qt3 X arts avi live matroska mpeg \
oggvorbis real theora xanim X aac opengl sdl xv dvd dvdnav dvdread \
3dnow 3dnow2 mmx mmx2 mmxext sse sse2 3dnowext a52"
oggvorbis is selected.

LIbogg version 1.1.3 is installed.
KPlayer, given an ogg file, keeps failing with the same error over and over
until I either close it or hit the stop button:

It recognizes the ogg, and appears to be playing it, but there's no sound. It
complains that it can't connect to an arts soundserver, but:
