Any solution/workaround for this problem?

If I remember correctly, this also solved the problem for me (it's been a while, tried a lot of things, and currently don't have the problem, but I seem to remember this being the solution I set up in the end as well).
Thanks for the link. I have already tried this solution i.e. I have selected ALSA as the sound system in KDE Sound Config rather than Auto or OSS - in my case it has not solved the problem.
I am not sure which is the culprit ALSA or artsd. However, as I mentioned in the original post, I can play CD/MP3/OGG with the GUI alsaplayer even when artsd is dead.
You can play stuff with alsaplayer even when artsd is dead because alsa is the *system* sound system, and artsd is just (basically) for KDE, and artsd talks to alsa which talks to your soundcard. Since artsd is strongly deprecated in upcoming versions of both KDE and SuSE, try turning *off* the "use sound server" checkbox in the KDE sound control panel. KDE apps should then use alsa natively and everything should be OK. That's what I've done and it works. -- Carpe diem - Seize the day. Carp in denim - There's a fish in my pants!
