The "PulseAudio Sound Server" entry is the ALSA pulse device. The entry called just "PulseAudio" is native PulseAudio (so it's preferred). A future release of Phonon will no longer show all those ALSA devices when PulseAudio is in use, but instead offer a list of devices which can be accessed through PulseAudio. But this is work in progress (by Colin Guthrie). Kevin Kofler
