Kdevelop and audio without KDE

Hello,
I'm a developer and I'm used to use kdevelop since many years (started
to use it before its 1.0...). Anyway.
Unfortunately, since last year I am reconsidering to use it. I recently
moved to qtcreator for the reasons below.
Indeed, I am facing several issues with kdevelop: instability (bug
reported to debian and classified with the hope_it_will_be_solved_on
_the_next_release which is not programmed soon since wheezy got frozen)
and sound issues. Let me explain the latter one in this mail.
I play electric guitar and I plug my guitar into my sound card and I
enjoy to use jack for this. Unfortunately, jack does not go well with
pulse audio. So I uninstalled any pulseaudio components from my
computer. With this way, I can use jack very well, without bugs.
Unfortunately, kdevelop uses the kdelibs which uses phonon for the audio
stuff which uses pulse.
My question is: how far is it (easily) possible to have kdevelop
installed on my computer without the audio stuff ? I know the question
is more related to kdelibs, but since the question is about kdevelop, I
am hoping someone who uses kdevelop already did that.
Note that I don't use KDE and my distribution is Debian.
And as a side question, how far the audio part of kdevelop is important
in the development ?
Thanks.
