KsCD gives you the choice if which sound server to use. I had this same issue, and it turned out that KsCD needs to use the internal audio device to pull from the cdrom drive. Try this: From the "Extras" menu, select "Configure KsCD". Toward the bottom of the "CD Player" page, verify that the device is correct in the CD-ROM Device box, then turn the "Use direct digital playback" switch. Select the appropriate audio backend (probably arts in this case) and select the digital audio device to use. I have an SB-Live and on my UDEV system, the correct device is: /dev/sound/audio. Works like a charm (except KsCD skips a bit when I'm doing a lot of desktop activity).
