Well I don't know that.
I just recreated a clean homedir, no effect.
Now at least I can test the device HDA-Intel... and it works.
The old problem with using this setting in the device pref, is that once
phonon locked the device, non-kde apps could not play any sound.
Firefox, flash, mplayer etc...
That meas that I had to close amarok to play videos on youtube.
This one is old and everyone know about it.
That's way there was a attempt to use pulseaudio in the first place.
To be able to do a softlock on the device, where pulseaudio would be the
only one with a hardlock on the hardware, through alsa.
I deleted my ~/.asoundrc, now luck there.
I'm folowing the http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup to see if I get
this thing working, but upon setting:
pcm.!default pcm.pulse
ctl.!default ctl.pulse
mplayer outputs no sound, and kde (apparently) needs a restart for them
changes to take effect, which makes it hard to test.
Arrg ble gruuug XXXX ....
Now I'm compiling phonon without pulseaudio support to see what happens.
I'll be in touch
Paulo
