You do mean "Until next upload ....", right?  "Bis nächste..", not "Seit 
nächste..."?

Sorry to say - I did this change - but it doesn't change anything.  I still 
don't have any sound!

KDE certainly uses a sound daemon called arts.  I haven't got the foggiest 
about how to kill it and use anything else.  And I am not really interested.  
I may be a little rough here, but with KDE being one of the two major 
desktops in Debian GNU/Linux, I certainly expect the sound system to work 
with arts. It did so until yesterday!  And arts hasn't been upgraded.

Not saying that I am unwilling to assist in hunting down the bug.  I just 
don't feel very competent - I will need a lot of assistance.

best regards
