I did the proposed test.
The result was that "artsd" did not start at all. And I
heard all sounds including the start up jingle.
I started look around in the "Control Center" applikation and
realised that it was possible to put "artsmessage" in debug mode.
So I put it in debug mode.
After I changed the Setuid bit back to on for "artsd" (4775) and restared KDE
by logout/login I got  Eighty ( 80 )  messages saying:
    Warning - Artsmessage
    Sound server warning message:
    file format extension "wav" unsupported.
As all the sound files are .wav 's  this is ofcourse
a wee problem.
  How can we find out why "artsd" thinks Wav's  are unsupported ?
