That will depend on who you're prepared to listen to ;-) The Debian recommended way (and KDE) is pulseaudio (that's why it's automagically installed). http://www.pulseaudio.org/ > Phonon, alsa, and/or pulse audio?

This particular question - and misunderstanding has been covered many times on the debian-user list, unfortunately it gets drowned out in the cries of "uninstall pulseaudio - alsa is all you'll ever need, everything new is bad". :-) alsa, esd, sdl, jack, etc are managed by pulseaudio. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulseaudio Pulseaudio is a high level sound management system - it gives you a central place to deal with all local and remote sound systems, and allows multiple virtual and physical devices to asynchronously use sound https://www.linux.com/news/hardware/drivers/8100-why-you-should-care-about-pulseaudio-and-how-to-start-doing-it > > Is this the same for Wheezy?
