When starting up KDE i get the following error. 

------------------------------------------------------------- 
Sound server informational message: 

Error while ilitializing the sound driver: 
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (Device or resource busy) 

The sound server will continue, using the null output device. 
------------------------------------------------------------- 

The only way to get this working is to restart the Arts sound server 
manually. 

'fuser -v /dev/dsp' doesn't show anything. 

arts-2.2.2-29mdk 
kdebase-2.2.2-40mdk 
kdemultimedia-2.2.2-5mdk 
devfds-1.3.22-3mdk 
kernel-2.4.17.14mdk-1-1mdk 

is installed. 

my .xsession-errors shows.... 

There are already artsd objects registered, looking if they are active...

Error: Can't add object reference (probably artsd is already running).
       If you are sure it is not already running, remove the relevant files:

       /tmp/mcop-mat/Arts_SoundServerV2
       /tmp/mcop-mat/Arts_SoundServer
       /tmp/mcop-mat/Arts_SimpleSoundServer
       /tmp/mcop-mat/Arts_PlayObjectFactory
       /tmp/mcop-mat/Arts_AudioManager

kdeinit: PID 2118 terminated.

Any pointers would be appreciated.
