There was a problem where some programs would not run if kmix and pavucontrol were both running, e.g skype would only run with pavucontrol running. On one box skype was working with pavucontrol, then it refused to work. Every box seemed to have a pulseaudio/kmix quirk, so I shifted work around to where things were happy running. I haven't touched what worked after upgrading to Milestone 1 and Milestone2.
I've had the same experience.. basically if you wanted anything other than default, PA was a nightmare. I can see how PA has the potential to eventually work better than ALSA... but right now :-( it's not much fun. My main issue with it is... Skype, and setting things up to use the USB headset. Relatively easy in ALSA, and a quirky instable mess in PA. I'd like to see PA working more logically in openSUSE/KDE... like PA working with KMix, and not needing to use pavucontrol to tell Skype to use the headset.... or even better, having applications that use PA able to select known devices instead like it is now where you only have "Default" and you have to define what Default means in each application using pavucontrol.
