artsd problem (no sound)

[Stefano Tabacchiera - CSF Sistemi]

Hi all,
i686 linux box running FC4 fully updated.

Since last arts (arts.i386 8:1.5.0-0.1.fc4) and kde (kdelibs.i386 
6:3.5.0-0.1.fc4) upgrade, arts sound system doesn't work anymore.


But in kde control center/sound card/autodetect, I can hear the sound 
cristal bright.

Sound Card is: Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. 
VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60), and it worked 
perfectly before last upgrade.


The facts:

# artsd

(unix:/tmp/ksocket-root/XXXXXXXXXXX-0acb-43abb872)
ALSA lib conf.c:1592:(snd_config_load1) _toplevel_:51:23:No such file or 
directory

Just reinstalled arts/alsa, same problem.

Any hint?
