I think this should answer your question:

That leads to another question I have. What exactly is the purpose of
arts, I thought it's required for sound in kde? Which leads to the exact
same question for esound, do I need it if I don't use gtk apps but not
gnome?

Arts can use alsa as output driver, but using arts to play songs through
alsa is still no good, I recommend to install alsa-xmms and use xmms, you
can even use winamp2 skins with xmms.

If you want to use arts with alsa, then you need to recomplie arts now.

I'm currently using beep-media-player. I checked the preferences and
only see oss_plugin as an option (after recompiling it). I see no such
option for juk. Would arts need to be recompiled?

If alsa is not compiled in , then usually you cannot select alsa as audio
output.

Did you set alsa as output driver in your sound apps?
Mplayer xmms for example have it in their preferences

[gentoo-user] alsa sound not great

2004-01-25 Thread Tom Hosiawa
After switching alsa for the sound system, their's a lot of noise when I
play musi, sometimes it's only noise and I have to restart the app. I've
tried multiple players, but all suffer the same problem.

I'm wondering if this is a problem with alsa or is it because I didn't
enable the alsa use flag before and I need to recompile the apps?

Tom
