On the one hand of all fixing it makes no difference and on the other hand 
arts is also not working during logging in, for example.

Kmix has correct settings too.

I've go one sound card on my motherboard. The output of lspci is

00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio 
Controller (rev a2)

The driver for that card is i8x0.

I've installed kde using split ebuilds. These are all packages:

de-base/kdebase-meta kde-base/kicker-applets kde-base/kontact 
kde-base/kaddressbook kde-base/kdeartwork-kscreensaver 
kde-base/kdeartwork-kwin-styles kde-base/kdeartwork-iconthemes 
kde-base/kdeartwork-wallpapers kde-base/kdeartwork-sounds 
kde-base/kdeartwork-styles kde-base/kdvi kde-base/kghostview kde-base/kpdf 
kde-base/kde-i18n kde-base/kcachegrind kde-base/kcalc kde-base/kdict 
kde-base/kgpg kde-base/kmail kde-base/korganizer kde-base/kregexpeditor 
amarok k3b kmix

The "arts" use flag is set in /etc/make.conf. I've installed all packages with 
arts support.
