KDE audio with ALSA and Arts, how?

[kde at schertell.com]

Can someone please explain how to get KDE 3.2.2 to use alsa?  I've got a 2.6.5 
kernel and alsa is running but doesn't really work with KDE.  Here are some 
clues:

1) The test sound works well from the control center, but I don't hear the KDE 
startup sound or any other KDE sounds.

2) JuK sounds a bit "garbled" when set to use arts output (unlistenable).

3) JuK produces no sound and skips to the next track when set to use GStreamer 
output.

Help please!  I don't understand how KDE and arts and oss and gstreamer and 
alsa are supposed to all work together ?!  Mostly, I just want to get JuK 
sounding okay again.

If you have any clues at all, please enlighten me!
