Then you need to do some tricks to get it to work properly.  Evolution
is a Gnome app, thus it uses ESD, KDE uses ARTSD.  The nice thing is
that ESD will actually run under ARTS control.  I use a startup script,
which allows me to wrap Evolution/ESD under ARTS, and set some options. 
This is what mine looks like (well, after translation from KSH93 syntax
to bash).

------------- /usr/bin/Evolution ------------
##
## Deal with Sound
##
#
# For Arts wrapping
#
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libartsdsp.so:/usr/lib/libartsc.so

## If we've already started esd, then we don't have to again
if [ ! $(/sbin/pidof esd) ]
then
        esd -nobeeps -spawnfd 4 &
fi

##
## End of Sound Stuff
##

# For talking to Outlook in I/O mode
export EVOLUTION_SEND_IMIP_AS_ATTACHMENT=1

evolution $*
------------- end script -------------

Run that to start Evolution, and you'll be able to turn on audio
notification.  Evolution will call ESD, which will be routed through
ARTSD, and all will be well.

TTFN,
