kde 4.1 mini-howto (kubuntu 8.04):
Execute in terminal:
mv /usr/lib/oss/lib/libsalsa.so.2.0.0 /usr/lib/oss/lib/libsalsa.so.2.0.0.bak
ldconfig
Install latest gstreamer and plugins from ubuntu ppa:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gstreamer-team/ubuntu hardy main
Also uninstall gstreamer-alsa (for sure)
Move gstreamer to the first place in phonon-backends list in "Sound" section
of "System Settings".
And sound is magically working now! Volume control at application level too.
Tested with juk-kde4 and dragon player.
Some issues still remain:
Sound configs can be changed only via ossxmix or ossmix.
qtconfig says that there is no gstreamer phonon-backend at all - but it could
be only (k)ubuntu trouble.
