KDE (at least version 3.x) earlier had a sound server called arts which got replaced by phonon in KDE4 which is just a tiny layer able to use different backends. Personally, as a distribution I would clearly recommend Debian. But this is a matter of taste and there is not one single solution for everyone I believe. Kind Regards Helmut
