"PulseAudio Sound Server" is the PA ALSA plugin (ALSA pulse device).

What versions of kdebase-runtime, phonon and phonon-backend-xine are you 
seeing this with? With:
kdebase-runtime-4.1.3-1.fc9.i386
phonon-4.2.0-5.fc9.i386
phonon-backend-xine-4.1.3-1.fc9.i386
I get:
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.
