I've had some strange issues with PulseAudio as well (with symptoms
that resemble what you've described)  that I haven't had time to track
down.  However, setting PA up as a system-wide instance has worked
around the issue for me and allowed me to keep PA support in KDE42.
As this is not a multi-user workstation, that fix has been fine for
me.
