By "competing for use" I mean "competing for use at the same time".
I don't mind different file types linking to different programs,
as long as the link is reasonably transparent.
But I don't want several programs being linked to the same file-type,
as seems the case here, unless I am explicitly asked
which I want to use.

I'm not sure what the second sentence means.
Why is pulseaudio sitting there?
And what exactly is its function in this case,
since amarok seems to work without it, and doesn't work with it?
