My guess is that the categories phonon suggests correspond to some of the 'media.role' values: http://freedesktop.org/software/pulseaudio/doxygen/proplist_8h.html#a06b7c7a5bfc7a20974b7785031169596 (with notifications=event and communication=phone), but 'flash' probably counts as animation (assuming a media role is set at all), which isn't listed in my audio playback dropdown within phonon. Have you tried setting the overall 'audio playback' order? I appreciate that may mess up other stuff for you, but wondering if it makes a difference. It might be possible to override the type flash gets, but you'd need to put it in your .bash_login or something, http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/Developer/Clients/ApplicationProperties/#pa_prop_media_role more sensibly it would be fairly straightforward for someone familiar with the code to add the animation type to phonon, could be filed as a RFE with KDE. > HOWEVER, pavucontrol works perfectly.
