Not sure, but here's something realted which is quite strange.
With the es1370 kernel drivers you can play sound and cds in kde, but if you
enable system sounds you can still hear the relevant sounds by using the media
player - but not with the test button (or by triggering the event) in the sound
setup.
So I installed the latest OSS drivers which set the mixer correctly and allow
sounds to be heard by pressing the test button, it also displays some info in
the sound info panel of kde. Which is basicaly the output of a cat
/dev/sndstat command.
so as root I did a cat /dev/sndstat > sndstat to get the message into my root
directory. Then I disabled the oss drivers and recompiled the kernel with its
own sound drivers. Then if you do cat /dev/sndstat it reports cat: not
supported by device. So I did an mv sndstat /dev/sndstat to overwrite the
soundstat file with the one generated by the oss drivers.
System sound will then work in kde! But you still have to adjust the mixer
everytime you boot :(
Dunc.
