yes, the glitc-free branch (still not released) should be a much better
thing to consider for KDE. Also, we've had to patch several packages
because of the fact that only GNOME uses PulseAudio, so having the whole
distro use it should solve in a better way those problems.

I started packaging this glitch-free branch in
home:rodrigomoya:pulseaudio . I'll try to finish the packages ASAP so
that people can start testing things for 11.1
