Excuse me because I don't use Kde nor Kaudioserver, nor even an AWE64.
However there's probably some perms problem on /dev/dsp, /dev/audio and
others.
in /etc/security/console.perms the sound package perms are set, but
probably we should set them to 0666 0666 instead of the very restricted
ones.
I encountered sound problems here (impossible to open some sound device
from time to time): I've chmod 666 /dev/audio and others but the problem
still occured from time to time. Now I've modified
/etc/security/console.perms and I've got no problem anymore.
I don't know exactly when /etc/security/console.perms is scanned but I
suspect the problem happens when a user is connected, say in X, and root
logs in on a text console, then the audio devices become unavailable to
the user.
Maybe I'm wrong but AFAIK my sound problem is solved, so maybe this should
help you: maybe your kaudioserver hanging problem comes from it loosing
perms to access audio devices.
bye,
Jerome
