Here's what worked for me:

Kubuntu already has a command line mp3 player installed (mpg123).

In Xastir, under FILE-CONFIGURE-AUDIO ALARMS, change the audio play command
to mpg123
and change each file name ending in .wav to end in .mp3 (for example,
newstation.mp3).
Then download the Xastir sound files and convert them to MP3's.
Put the MP3 files in /user/local/share/xastir/sounds

To speed up the last part, I put the mp3 versions of the sound files at the
following link:
http://www.175moonlight.com/xastir/mp3/xastirmp3.tar

That worked, although I had to install mpg123 -- and having the .tar available was very convenient, too. At least it was, once I figured out how to extract the files from it -- Kubuntu tried to tell me I don't own my own hard drive, hi hi!
