I am changing the subject in this thread, since the subject is not very relevant.

I can play files with artsplay, mpg321 and the test sound button at Control Center->Sound and Media -> Sound System.

My issue is that sound notifications do not work.

I have tried selecting /usr/kde/3.5/bin/artsplay as a selected player.

This is a new install, is there some package that should be installed to make notifications work?
