You can use esound, the Enlightenment Sound Daemon (Comes with Mandrake).
You'll have to do some RTFM, and problably use gnome, since kde does not

It's probably the port bind 8 uses for querying external name servers. You
can restrict this to a specific port using the "query-source address" option
in bind 8. See /etc/named.conf for details, the default MDK version contains
this option as a comment by default.
