This is strange.  Just got KDE-4.4 running yesterday after some compile 
issues so I might not be much help.

I find that if I open: "Multimedia" in SystemSettings that I no longer 
have PulseAudio listed as a choice for an Output Device.  So, I checked 
and, yes, Phonon was built with PulseAudio support.

So, although I have no problem playing sound through my hardware device 
(the only choice listed), I am very puzzled.

The place to start is with SystemSettings.  What does your install list 
if you go to: "Multimedia" in SystemSettings?
