In any case what openSUSE will do is something must be cleared. For what I understood Gnome is going to use PulseAudio yes or yes. Upstream will port their apps to PulseAudio and openSUSE can't patch all of them, correct? GStreamer, xine... they can't have a default output for KDE and another one for Gnome. KDE4 will use Phonon, that can use xine or gstreamer like backend. Will KDE4 apps use PulseAudio when Phonon uses gstreamer and ALSA directly when Phonon uses xine? In the first case apps will have *two* per application volume controls (Phonon and PulseAudio)? Without a clear path this could be very confusing.
ideally pulseaudio and phonon would be just wrapper for that functionally inside alsa. and your scenario gets even more funny when you launch some gnome multimedia program under KDE.
pd. is opensuse-packaging the best place for this?
