Problem solved! It was the arts sound server in KDE, which can be disabled in 
the KDE Control Centre. I don't really understand what it does - sound seems 
to be fully functional in kde without it. I remember reading about this 
causing a problem with QSSTV too so it may be as well to turn it off if you 
want to use any soundcard radio apps..

Anyway, Xastir is now happily jabbering away :-)

Thanks for your help guys!
