No offence but I find ALSA to be a major PITA.  I'm using a soundblaster live 
card with OSS.  Simple and it works.  You make need to tell kde to use OSS 
and not auto detect sound.

I would really love to get my SMP athlon quiet.  I have tried various fans for 
the few extra bucks, different cpu coolers and PSUs.  You can make them 
liveable with but not sleepable.  I've also been thinking about a low noise 
solution just for this and ínstall something to make the output streaming or 
just use a remote xterm.
