I think the problem is "esd" running and taking over the sound device.
So Kaffeine can't take the device and you have that error message. The
"Sound & Multimedia" configures the audio/video sink GStreamer uses
(and I think Kaffeine uses KDE default sound system, not GStreamer).

You can try kill esd before running Kaffeine.
