Wow Tejas I am impressed! That zypper dup -r KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop command seemed to have made a huge number of package changes to my system.. Guess I better learn about zypper more, from what it appears to me it made a whole lot of packages consistent with each other. (Man I wish that was a discoverable command via YaST!) Anywise now the buttons I had reported as crashing their apps are now working. So appears we are making good progress.. But the projectM-pulseaudio visualization is still not being driven by sound output from Amarok yet...
You asked me earlier what phonon backend I am using, and I can now report that it is Xine.
Marc...
Hmmph ... I'm afraid I'm not a big pulseaudio user so you are reaching the limits of my knowledge ...
If it still isn't working, maybe phonon is somehow bypassing pulseaudio and outputting directly to alsa ... In the Multimedia configuration dialog, how many/what output devices do you see? Which one is preferred?

Thanks again Tejas.. Yeah trouble with the open source world is that it is sometimes real difficult to find/connect to the genius behind the curtains.. But so far you have been a wonderful guru! Anywise in the Default Output Device Preference dialog I have 6 devices listed. This list is the same for all the Audio Output catagories. (again I wish these tools would let one do a copy/paste or export the info to a file.. but will type it all in the order in which they are shown...) SB Audigy 4 Pro [SB0380] (rev4, serial:0x20071102) (ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback) SB Audigy 4 Pro [SB0380] ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback (Side speakers) Burr-Brown from TI USB Audio CODEC (USB Audio) Jack Audio Connection Kit Esound (ESD) aRts I recognize the SB Audigy 4 Pro entry, that is my Creative Labs sound card. I suspect the Burr-Brown entry might be for my Harmon Kardon media center/amplifier which is hooked up to the computer via a USB cable.. The rest I have no idea about...
