Same problem for me.
first time i start kde, it freezes for about 15 secs. then the message "sound server fatal error....." appears. this message appears every few secs.
cpu load for artsd is at 99%. when i click to disable arts at knotify dialog, the message doesnt appear anymore -> artsd is closed.
although i can play audio files with amarok, but i dont hear system sounds.
