It automatically detects that PulseAudio is not in use and will use plain ALSA just as before. The PulseAudio integration is only enabled at runtime if PulseAudio is actually there. > Will there be a change in kmix? I don't want to lose any of my sliders. The KMix PulseAudio integration is not shippable in 4.3 nor 4.4, so no, KMix is not being changed at this time. See for yourself: http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdemultimedia/kmix/mixer_pulse.cpp?revision=1047730&view=markup Almost everything is commented out. The code is basically unusable. So you don't have to fear for your ALSA-enabled KMix just yet. ;-) Kevin Kofler
