Does that really help?  What version do you have installed?

Does PulseAudio show up in your "Backend" list?  All that I have ever
had there is: "Xine" & "Gstreamer".  PulseAudio was in the other list:
"Device Preference" but it has now gone missing -- ESD isn't there either.

Do you know what changes were made from KDE-4.3 to KDE-4.4? or how
KDE-4.4 finds these options?
