[Nix-dev] Removing PulseAudio from KDE 4.4

[roconnor at theorem.ca]

I want to mention to those intersted, that I have locally removed 
pulseaudio from my build inputs to phonon in KDE 4.4 and my audio life 
has become considerably simpler.

I'm not proposing that my attached patch be put into nixpkgs, but for 
those people, who like me, have problems with audio in KDE getting routed 
to their PC speaker rather than their HDA Intel device, but where alsa 
works fine (i.e. aplay works but paplay doesn't work), this patch may be 
for you.  Just patch and rebuild KDE and KDE programs such as amarok.
