KDE? Poor boy... (only Mozilla and Staroffice are even bigger).

Anyway, I don't know what device KDE is using, and what "DSP" is meant to be
as most audio boards do NOT contain a digital signal processor, but for
programs that do not contain some option to set the audio device you can set
a group of symbolic links

        /dev/audio -> /dev/audio0
        /dev/audioctl -> /dev/audioctl0
        /dev/sound -> /dev/sound0

or replace 0 with 1, etc, if you have multiple audio boards in your Amiga.
