First of all thanks (or shall I say 'kallu kalay') for the help.

I updated udev to udev-162. And I can report some progress and some
glitches.
PROGRESS:
--------
---a) the first login and logout via kdm gives the welcome and exit sounds
---b)the kde/~Multimedia dialog has a dummy greyed-out icon and another as
'Internal Audio analog stereo'
---c) aplay plays wav files in konsole -as well as on the cli in/before/after
startkde/kdm-logout
GLITCHES
-----------
---d) kde/sound is mute for all other logins and logouts bar the first
---e) audio CDROMs do not play neither with KsCD nor Kaffeine for any logins
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
######## 'pacmd -ls' looks like this after login via kdm

Suggestions of a fix for reliable sound on ALL KDE logins and on playing
