Well this was in fact a brand new user in this existing f11 system -
the desktop is gnome but was setting up kmail for special reasons -
perhaps kmail itself has a problem with whichever the internal sound
application is that it uses?  Either way for the uninitiated this
would be a perplexing issue to resolve.  There have been ongoing
(though slowly reducing) pulseaudio issues - and I have not tried the
same in an f12 box but that would probably be worth testing.
