if you play an mp3 using a non-kde app, like mplayer or mpg123 , it
will not play in my experience. artsd monopolises the sound device.
what you have to do is kill the artsd, then you can play mp3's using
mplayer or xmms or mpg123.

command to kill artsd:

# killall artsd
then try playing your mp3....
