The problem is that nobody is really sure how it works. :-)
That's the reason why i wrote to the KDE-team hopefully. ;-)

This is my main question and i hope someone can explain this.
I will multiply my knowledge to the community then.

What do you mean with phonon backend - the outputs that you can choose 
in the setup?
I always tried all the possible outputs - but it never makes a 
difference to get it working.

In the last week i worked on the PC with the onboard sound with a CM6501 
(USB-)Chip.
(Refer to PC2 from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=609441)
Here you can choose between "PNP Audio Device (USB Audio)" and "Jack 
Audio Connection Kit".
Only the PNP Audio Device is working.
With this device i have the KDE system sound and i have sound with VLC, 
Dragon Player and Amarok.
Kaffeine and Flash-sound is not working?

I can't understand this.
It is the right standard device but not all applications are working.
This are the problems you can read often in the forums.
The sound only works for some applications.
Why?

O.K.
When i look at my PC1 i can see the fully working ENS1371 and the 
deactivated onboard sound greyed out.
So the chipset can be seen but not be used.
