I don't use it much, but I have Gnome installed, so I can play around
with it if I like. Whenever PulseAudio gets updated, I manually
rename /usr/bin/pulseaudio. I was never able to configure it, despite
some help from this list in the past, I think my problem is that my
internal sound card has two devices, and the HDMI one is default. For
ALSA I was able to switch them, with PulseAudio I had no success.
Sound behaviour is very erratic, and killing the pulseaudio process (or
not enabling it to start at all) seems to help. Although it still happens
that Amarok or Flash do not play sound, even though the test sound works
fine in the Phonon setup.
Quite annoying, but these days I have no time for that any more :-(
