What are the reasons to disable PA by default? Since arts is gone, why should 
KDE4 be left without any sound server at all? Most sound cards do not support 
hardware mixing, this means you *need* a sound server to play audio from 
several sourced at once, e.g. playing music while wathcing some video on the 
web. Wouldn't a clean integration of a sound server like PA make sense?

The only app I am aware of that has issues with sound servers and that should 
rather directly use the ALSA device is Skype.

I use PA successfully with 11.1 and KDE 4.3.0, works like a charm. And PA has 
a nice GUI tool.
