This is getting stranger:

  Darrell, you were correct, aplay will play .wav files just fine. I rebuilt
both arts and tdemultimedia - no change. From the command line, both 'play' and
'aplay' work fine, but TDE will not play any sound. I open kcontrol -> Sound
System -> [Test Sound] and I get nothing. I click the litte |> next to any sound
event file - same result, no sound.

  Checking .xsession-errors, each time I try playing the a sound, I get the
following:

unix_connect: can't connect to server

  Checking /tmp/tdesocket-david/localhost.localdomain-02d0-52f9c6b6, it is there
and easily accessible, so I don't know what that unix_connect error is all
about. The bottom line, something is active very differently with this set of
package regarding sound. Let me know if you have any other thoughts. We'll look
at this more later.
