KDE uses artsd as its sound server, Ubuntu uses esd.  This means you 
can't directly access the sound card but have to go through the sound 
server.

In preferences, see what XMMS is using.  If it's going direct (to OSS 
or ALSA), then the reason Amarok isn't working is that artsd isn't
running.

One of the KDE control panels controls the sound server.  Check that 
out.  You'll need to set non-KDE apps up to use artsd.  This might 
require installing the xmms-arts package and the like for other apps.
