I would suggest installing the latest Amarok as 13.9 only supports ipods iirc
http://kubuntu.org/announcements/amarok-1.4.php
It has better mp3 player support, and as a matter of fact I have the same 
player, and it works fine in Amarok 1.4. When you plug in your Sansa, amarok 
should detect it and offer a little dialog, and in there, in the section 
asking for you to choose which plug-in to use, select "generic audio player"

I don't remember any issues, other than that you should not unplug the device 
immediately after transferring files via amarok, or even copying files via 
Konqueror as there is some lag between when amarok/Konq seems to be finished 
and the files are finished being written. the display will say what is going 
on
