Error artsmessage popup

[Dennis Shaw]

ok... when I boot up FC3 x86_64, Kernel 2.6.10-1.741, on a fresh install 
I get an error message saying "Sound server fata error: cpu overload, 
aborting". I then of course went looking for my sound config files. All 
I can find in KDE is "Multimedia Systems Selector". I have ALSA selected 
for both Default sink and Default source. The test works for both of 
them. When I try changing it to anything else the selector crashes. My 
soundcard is a Creative Soundblaster Live 5.1. What's weird is that 
sound seems to be working just fine.

Any suggestions from the smartest list on the web?
