OK, tried that and rebooted just in case. No difference. Currently I
have:

3216 /usr/bin/artsd -F 10 -S 4096 -a alsa -d -r 48000 -s 10 -m \
artsmessage -c drkonqi -l 3 -f

No pulseaudio demon (see below)

Mplayer working

Flash working

Amarok telling me "xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers".

This when I log into KDE:

"Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device: default can't be opened for playback (Connection refused)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device."

When I try "pulseaudio -d" I get:

W: polkit.c: Failed to show grant dialog: Unable to lookup exe for
caller
W: polkit.c: PolicyKit responded with 'auth_admin_keep_always'
E: main.c: read() failed: Resource temporarily unavailable
E: main.c: daemon startup failed.
