I agree with Heiko Baums and Oon-Ee Ng, this is possible because ... If PA should be able to solve the OP's issue, then it's unimportant what issues PA could cause. If somebody replies with a guess, that PA might solve the issue on GNOME, because KMix is able to solve it, then a hint, that PA could cause serious issues IMO is ok.
