Hi Alexandre. When KDE sounds wouldn't play I've used, under "Player Settings"
on the System notifications page, the option to use an externel player. Now,
"artsplay" works for me, but probably needs arts installed. According to the
help page you can use non arts reliant players. See below.

Maybe you want to use a special media player to play sound files, e.g. because
you use sound files in a special format or you don't use the aRts sound
daemon. In that case, check the Use external player option and enter the full
path and name of the program you want to use into the text field.
So perhaps you can set up Alsaplayer, for instance, to play the KDE sounds.
