Infact Mr. Gramantieri did not use the sound of the Ethane 3220 (clevo 
manifactuer). The solution was very simple. Bought the OSSdriver and 
install them (they did not work on esound 0.22).
I've just tried to play artsd in console, this is the problem:
--------------------------------------------------------------
bash-2.05# artsd -l0 -F10 -S4096
autodetecting driver:
- null: 0
- oss: 10
... which means we'll default to oss

addDirectory(/opt/kde/lib/mcop/Arts,Arts)
addDirectory(/opt/kde/lib/mcop/Noatun,Noatun)
addDirectory(/root/.mcop/trader-cache,)
------------------------------------------------------------------
now I play a sound with konqueror (but I try with sox, xmms, cat /sound > 
/dev/dsp, etc), clicking on the file, and the console give me (following 
the lines above, I got copying from the term):
------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The 
'/opt/kde/lib/libarts_mpeglib.la' exist and exist the source too that it links.
After I've lunched artsd, I try to play a song with xmms, instead for ex. 
konqueror, or sox, etc. it give me back an error saying me that the 
soundcard is busy  or it's not configured.
If I kill artsd, xmms plays the song very well :)
this is what happen with my tux sing :) ... can you say me something ?

Yes, but they didnt' made the driver for ALS300+, and I don't belive that 
they make it now.
I'm sorry about my english.
