There is fate feature #305888 (Disable Pulse Audio by default). KDE has
no hard dependency on Pulse Audio (unlike, as far as I understood,
GNOME), so we can handle this issue ourselves. Even if we decide to
disable it by default for KDE, there would be of course still the option
to enable it, for those who would like that (it's in the YAST sound
module somewhere).

Right now, pulse is the only easy way I have to play sound over HDMI. The
YaST sound settings won't do it at all. From a tip on factory I'm able to
force mplayer to do it, but all other sounds are over pulse or not at all.

So if you disable pulseaudio, please make sure that the yast sound module
has a way of selecting the sound output channel

This sounds like a bug somewhere (not KDE) to me. Pulse uses eventually ALSA
anyway, so it Pulse is able to do it, why shouldn't ALSA be able to do it on
its own too? I think you should rather report a Yast or sound bug for this.
