Gilboa, you're not alone on this one. I'm having the exact same problem on
my desktop pc here at home.

Latest Phonon, PulseAudio and xine stuff installed here (including
xine-lib-pulseaudio). Checked against the kde-* repo's and updates-testing.

On a side note, I'm using a preupgraded F11 Live KDE -> F12 here which was
working fine pré KDE 4.3.4. :) 

On an other side note, this might be worth mentioning too:

<rdieter> in pavucontrol's playback tab, you should see amarok, with an
animated volume shown
<Kaboon> erm, it's empty except for "System sounds"
<rdieter> ok, so phonon isn't using pulseaudio... for somereason.  ??

and Rex had to leave.

I guess this one is out of my league so if you guys want me to have
something changed / tested just let me know and I'll see what I can do. :)
