I guess I'm not going to be able to convince you to do it the right way huh? Ahh well, I tried :( You can disable the routing done under KDE by editing the file: /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-kde It's a bash script. Simply change "do_routing=1" to "do_routing=0". This will mean the KDE UI's wont work (they will let you prioritise things, but this configuration will simply have no effect.
