I have to say, this recent upgrade was a rather painful for similar reasons to others that posted in this thread.
I have 2 sound cards, each one with digital and analog outputs. After a recent upgrade, all but 2 devices were found, and only one of them actually worked. And this was regardless of whether I used vlc or gstreamer as a phonon backend. Are we really supposed to use pulseaudio instead of phonon now? How do you configure kde for that? Because I've never seen a debian-kde installation pre-configured that way. What brought my old devices back was probably removing .kde/share/config/phonondevicesrc but I also removed ~/.pulse* files just to be safe. And then I had to unmute the devices from kmix before I finally heard sound again.
