OK, I moved it aside, logged out and in again, and now it looks
reasonable. Interestingly, when I click the Advanced box, the mysterious
no-name device reappears in the middle of the list, but PA is at the top
as it should be so no problem. I see it doesn't recreate
a .config/kde.org/libphonon.conf file in the default config.

Still hunting the blasted Kmix icon though. Maybe fiddling with the
desktop theme will fix it ... no, it doesn't, damn.
