System settings/multimedia.

Choices are:
HDA Intel
PulseAudio
Jack
PulseAudio Sound Server
Default
Esound

Choosing the Defaults button gives me the above.

Should default be PulseAudio (and if so, which one?)

What do others use?

Interesting, my f10 (kde-4.1.3) box defaults to:
Default
Pulseaudio Sound Server
HDA Intel
PulseAudio

Mine are similar, but PulseAudio sound server is at the bottom.
The first pulse audio has a PA icon, and the other one has an icon of a
sound card (which leads me to believe the PA Sound Server is the one
that represents the "fake" /dev/dsp, and the other one is preferable)
"PulseAudio Sound Server" is the PA ALSA plugin (ALSA pulse device).
What versions of kdebase-runtime, phonon and phonon-backend-xine are you
kdebase-runtime-4.1.3-1.fc9.i386
phonon-4.2.0-5.fc9.i386
phonon-backend-xine-4.1.3-1.fc9.i386
PulseAudio
Ensoniq AudioPCI ENS1371 (ES1371 DAC2/ADC)
Default
PulseAudio Sound Server
which is what is supposed to happen.
If this is broken in the KDE 4.2 packages, I'll have to look into fixing my
patches.
I've switched to PulseAudio @top (manually). So far it's been reliable, but
quite choppy.

One buglet, after plugging in my usb audio device, then removing it, @login
I'm asked whether to "permanently" remove these devices. That sounds scary.
Shouldn't that be rephrased? Sounds like permanently remove might mean it
will never recognize the device again if I plug it in.
