Why is it whatever YaST2 depends on to play a test sound successfully isn't sufficient for sound in KDE to work? Put another way, shouldn't YaST2 be using the same method as the DE it's running in?
No idea what YaST uses, but it's definitely not phonon, but either alsa directly, or PA.
YaST2 uses QT for its widgets, so I speculate YaST uses ALSA functionality more or less directly wired to a Qt-pusbutton, simply to test proper hardware operation. I recall in previous versions (opensuse 10.0 or so) test sound in Yast being played while having no sound in KDE applications. By the way, for a user like me it is not easy to understand the current sound architecture of KDE. We have alsa, jack, phonon, pulseaudio and applications, but I have no idea who gives what to whom.
