Sounds like https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131456. Stefan, it would be nice if you would use Gentoo bugzilla, instead going directly upstream.
Eh, sorry. s/Stefan/david
I'm suffering of the same (or similar) bug.

No, no need to report this. Since the KDE fellow didn't feel like explaining the problem, I will. Your kernel and userland ALSA headers/libs are mismatched. Either downgrade userland, or upgrade the kernel. I upped to 2.6.17-rc4 to fix it.

I too am getting this error and thought this was the best place to add additional information, instead of starting a new bug. I just insatlled a fresh Slackware 11 release, and I am getting this issue on both a 2.4 and a 2.6 system. In response to David's comment, I *AM* using matched ALSA headers/libs, in both scenarios. Also, I can confirm that ALSA *is* working. I can play mp3s from the command line, using madplay or mpg321. I can also play mp3s in x-windows if I use a player, XMMS, that uses ALSA directly, and does not try to use artsd. Lastly, I am not using a onboard VIA sound controller. I have an ancient ES1688 based ISA card. Cheers, Eddie
I get the same problem with Mandriva 2009.0, KDE 4.1.2, running on a Dell Inspiron 600m notebook. The problem doesn't seem to appear on my 3 desktops, though.
Arts is no longer developed and has been unmaintained for quite some time - more than 2 years. With phonon as the replacement for arts in KDE4, we're closing out all the arts bugs in Bugzilla since there is no chance of them being fixed. Thanks
