Thanks for the answer but I don't really understand what you are saying. You say I can use any backend 'seamlessly', but the Xine backend under Lucid is not using Pulse 'seamlessly', it is using an ALSA output and routing that to Pulse using the ALSA-pulse plugin. I still see all my ALSA devices under system settings, which is completely different behaviour from that which occurs under mandriva, for example. I'm not sure if I'm explaining this very well, but it does not work the same way as it does under Mandriva for example - KMix patches notwithstanding. If I run pavucontrol, I see that all the audio output from phonon applications is coming through the ALSA plugin, not native pulseaudio.
