KDE 2.1 had a bit of a change in the sound system...it's now a seperate
package (arts-2.1-0.20010118.1mdk) as well as a library package.
The fun thing is that this package is new, so if you upgraded by doing an
rpm -F *.rpm
than it won't be installed. Likewise, if you only downloaded packages
starting kde, you missed it
Hope this helps
