Package:           artsd
Version:           KDE 3.0.0 
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

aRtsd does not seem to find any audio drivers in Mandrake 8.2.  I read through the FAQ and tried everything it mentioned.  Here's what happens when I try starting it from the prompt:

[brian@penguin brian]$ artsd -l0 -F10 -S4096
autodetecting driver:
 - null: -1
... nothing we could use as default found
autodetecting driver:

autodetecting driver:

... nothing we could use as default found
Error while initializing the sound driver:
couldn't auto detect which audio I/O method to use
--------------

The sound works fine with non-KDE apps using OSS drivers.  The sound card is a SoundBlaster Live! Value card.  

For what it's worth I also checked the permissions of the sound devices in /dev/sound and chmoded them all to 777.

I also did an ldd artsd:
