Recently I have installed (not an upgrade) Fedora Core 7. everything works out the box except the soundsystem.
During the login phase I hear the sound from the kde login event. But at some time the arts sound systems seems to halt. I cannot even stop artsd with a normal (TERM) kill. I have to use kill -9 (SIGKILL) to terminate artsd.
After termination KDE will start an other artd and now everything seems to work.
Any idee's how I can find the source of this problem?

Yeah, KDE is awesome but aRts is retardedly flimsy. I usually try to avoid using it and have things pump through another daemon (PulseAudio). KDE itself has to use aRts but the system seems to have an easier time with it, vs trying to use aRts for most sound...

This means there is no solution for aRts? My configuration worked flawless with Fedora Core 6.
I have tested some further and I think it has something to do with kmail. When several accounts have new mail kmail reports this event with a sound. For some reason this will cause the aRts deadlock/hang. How can I investigate this any further?
