You have two options, one is to install your KDE applications with USE="arts" to get the kde's sound system (you don't want this), and the other one is to simply use an external player which is also our recommendation since arts is pretty much broken and unmaintained. For setup instructions see Wulf's comment #3 in bug #192622: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192622#c3
