That bit me as well, and so far even rebuilding arts did NOT solve it for me. I haven't solved it yet. --
Well, I didn't say anything until I upgraded to KDE3.4 last night. Arts has been broken a looooooong time. I thought it was you Joe, who tipped me off about reinstalling the old Arts. (arts-1.3.2-3) Got my system sounds back up with two previous KDE upgrades. Sure enough KDE3.4 still has the broken arts. So I did my --oldpackage routine again. This time it complained about the 3.4 libs or something. Did a --nodeps and it worked. Got system sounds back again. I usually run an alsaconf after that. Don't know if that is necessary or not.
