I would like to know what the plans are for PulseAudio in KDE4. From
my just installed 11.1 experience...

- I know PulseAudio was enabled only for Gnome in 11.0... I *think* it
was going to be used also for KDE in 11.1 but never followed the
story.
- Uhm, I have just installed 11.1 with KDE4 and I have not kmix... I
have no mixer at all!! Well, that probably means it is using
PulseAudio... let's see, yes pulseaudio is in the list of running
processes... I suppose I must find the specific mixer to be able to
set the volume of my speakers, it will be the Gnome one or there is
one specific for KDE?
- I don't find any mixer... and if I look is the sound preferences of
KDE the first preference for everything is my SB Live!, the second my
HDA codec and the last one PulseAudio. That means PulseAudio is
running but not used by KDE? Well, I suppose there is a good cause for
PulseAudio to be the last preference by default, I'm not going to
change that. But if my desktop isn't going to use PulseAudio I can
just uninstall it, any other app that could use PulseAudio for sure
also supports ALSA directly.
- Ok, zypper rm pulseaudio... what?? Ok, seems libesd0 requires
esound-daemon, provided by pulseaudio-esound-compat that requires
pulseaudio. libes0 is required by some packages I really want (libao
to put an example). It seems it's difficult to delete all this
pulseaudio/esd thing... why? I'm using KDE, not Gnome. Should not
libesd0 just "recommend" instead of "require" esound-daemon??


Ok, that's what I thought while trying to understand the situation.
So... I missed something? Is really pulseaudio being installed (and
runned) in KDE4 installations but KDE4 not using it? How I'm supposed
to set my volume? There should be a KDE-pulseaudio-mixer? What are the
plans for 11.2?

Thanks.
