FC9 and KDE sound issues

[Bill Davidsen]

While I normally run GNOME, I did want to try KDE under the latest beta 
to see if there were any issues. Unfortunately there are two, the first 
is that if you select KFE one, for trial, it becomes your default 
environment forever, and two, KDE won't run without sound hardware, it 
just pops up an endless barrage of messages, one saying ALSA can't work 
changing to PulseAudio, and one saying PulseAudio can't work changing to 
ALSA. And they go on forever, or at least ten minutes worth at 20+/min, 
when I rebooted.

If I wanted PA running I would have run it, and I don't, because there 
is no sound hardware on the machine and I really don't want to try and 
find applications which run with PA, I like what I have. When I get to 
play again I will remove PA from my machine and see if that allows use 
of KDE, since KDE doesn't notice that there is no sound hardware, and no 
sound drivers.
