Now that KDE is working, I can answer some of these additional questions. artsd is working. All other audio configuration appears sane. Apparently the default sounds for KDE are configured to play a .ogg file. For example, login plays KDE_Startup_3.ogg, logout plays KDE_Logout_3.ogg and an error dialog plays KDE_Glass_Break.ogg. So for some reason, KDE is unable to play these .ogg files (they come out as noise). libogg-1.1.3 Ogg bitstream library Is installed. So who knows... At any rate, I reconfigured KDE to use .wav versions of the files and now they play just fine. Thanks.
