I got it working, but I can't explain my fix.

Originally, my sound system was set (in Kcontrol) to ALSA, and KDE
system sounds, mplayer, and amaroK were all sharing the sound card.
Trying to test the configured Kopete sounds from within Kopete (under
Settings -> Configure Notifications...) sometimes resulted in a "pop"
from the speakers several seconds after attempting to play the sound,
but otherwise nothing.

I switched the sound system to OSS, which allowed KDE, mplayer, and
Kopete to work, but not amaroK.  In the course of trying to get amaroK
to use OSS, I deleted ~/.xine/config.  (That probably has nothing to do
with the fix, but you never know.)

Then I switched the sound system back to ALSA.  Magically, Kopete was
able to play sounds!  This "fix" survived a reboot.  However, after
about 8 hours of uptime, I heard another "pop" from the speakers when
one of my contacts came online, and then Kopete would not play any more
sounds until I restarted X.
