I wouldn't necessarily blame PulseAudio in this case.  If paplay
works, then your server's responding and processing fine.  It could be
the way that Dragon Player and/or Kmail are dealing with audio that
are the problem.

I usually first try to use a standard utility (paplay should be fine,
or Totem which keeps up with PulseAudio generally) first.  If that
works, I create a brand new user account to test whether my configs
are at fault with the different app I'm using.  If that doesn't work,
the app may be at fault.  If it does, the blame probably lies in my
user configuration.
