Bug Description
Binary package hint: phonon
In Intrepid with backports enabled Phonon since KDE 4.2 tries to "map" PulseAudio devices to ALSA/OSS devices if they both refer to the same physical device. Noone could dream of better integration of PulseAudio within KDE 4.
Now since my upgrade to Jaunty & KDE 4.2.3, Phonon splits PulseAudio devices from regular devices. On the attached screenshot the "blank" device at the top is the PulseAudio device (only shown if "Show advanced devices" ticked) refering to my USB soundcard back in Intrepid would have been merged with the second device on that list.
Removing all conf files related to Phonon and PulseAudio doesn't help.
Thanks for investigating.

This also happens with KDE 4.2.4 (from kubuntu- experimental PPA) and amarok- nightly- phonon from Amarok "Neon" nightly builds (which bundles some KDE 4.3 parts).
