But are you quite sure that no pulseaudio leftovers remain in your system? After I purge everything connected to pulseaudio, the only choice that remains, or the only one that my system recognizes, is alsa. Then it is automatically chosen as default. Make sure you purge not only pulseaudio* but also pavucontrol, and similar packages. You probably already know this, I imagine, so this is just a reminder. That pulseaudio stuff somehow gets into my system through other packages that usually don't mention it. Also you recommended alsamixer to me a few months ago (thanks much!), wherein you can choose your soundcard. I'm not sure if your choice in alsamixer affects kmix; but I know that I don't have this problem any more.
