It seems I solved the problem by disabling artsd alltogether
and setting xmms to use alsa with device fixed to hw:0,1.
For XMMS I have to turn on volume sliders Master and PCM.
For sounds from Mozilla (mail notification) I also need to pull
up the leftmost of the 4 sliders "VIA DX" something in alsamixer.

And yes, I have the udev fix installed.

Still I got one hang when running tux racer yesterday.
Might be sound-related, don't know.

No further keyboard hangs.

Still this leaves me with a bad fealing re the stability of this
distro. I guess there is still some work to be done before we
reach the level of Windows XP (sigh).
