Despite the fact that artsd (the thing in KDE that I believe grabs hold of 
dsp and does all the sound) runs as your user[1] adding myself to the audio 
group seemed to make no difference.  Nothing except 
   sudo chmod 0666 /dev/dsp
seemed to work for me.  btw if you get that working and find that you can 
hear KDE's groovy window closing noises but xmms and others don't work, you 
may find you have to kill off artsd to get xmms etc going.

Note [1[:  check - it does in mine - 
ps axug | grep artsd
