This would make sense, except that I have experienced two different problems with my sound since upgrading...the first one is that when I start up KDE I get the flourish, but then no sound after that, except for the system beep. The interesting part about this is that's how it was the first couple of times I booted into Linux. Then, after a few boots, my sound played for everything. So, my problem is solved. But then, in the middle of playing music, the sound just dropped out all together, except for the system beep. I restarted the X server (because of the kdm problem of my X-server crashing when I log out) and attempted to play xmms, and this time xmms told me it couldn't find any sound hardware, or that that there was a conflict. (IOW, a generic error message) I rebooted, and, voila! --- sound. Go figure. I also wonder if there's a way to get my G3/266 to init the sound hardware without going completely into the Mac OS...
