no, after I used kpackage to uninstall the old files and install the new
ones I exited KDE with a ctl-alt-f6, logged in as root and ran sndconfig.
Since it didn't error out when playing the sample I answered yes to the
'did you hear' question and then logged out and used ctl-alt-f7 to return to
KDE, opened the volume control on the dock and set the volume to what I
normally use (it was reset to all sliders just above the midpoint) and the
system sounds worked fine.

yes to what? After returning to KDE I can find a .midi file in the file
system and play it, yes.
