Thanks.  If I read the Makefile correctly for audio/arts, I really need
to enable one (or more) of the sound daemons.  Can I pick more than
one?  What happens if I pick none?  Should the kde3 metapackage verify
that one or more is selected?  If not, there are mysterious build
failures several hours into the kde build, which is not user-friendly.
