I did add those lines to my modules.conf. (there were no sound related lines 
there before. I ran alsaconf and now have some sound. For instance Gaim has 
sound. I do not have any KDE sounds so I was wondering how you "tell kde to 
use aplay" 

I also cannot get xmms to work. I am getting this error:
** WARNING **: alsa_setup_mixer(): Failed to find mixer element: PCM 

XMMS opens, and it plays the mp3, but no soud comes out. 

Any ideas? 

Thanks
