=== Fixing sound in KDE ''(is this now obsolete? 2011/08)''' ===
(alsamixer shows my audio card by default, but i get no sound in KDE)
* be sure to explicitly install pkgs.kde44.phonon in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix (environment.kdePackages option) or via nix-env -i
After this step you should be seeing xine and gstreamer backends in the systemsettings / Computer Administration / Multimedia 's Backends tab.
* If you still see Pulseaudio as the only option in the main tab of systemsettings / Computer Administration / Multimedia, do the following:
 
  $ rm -rf ~/.pulse/*
  $ killall5 -9 pulseaudio
* Log out of kde and re-login
Now you should be able to select your audio card, default hw0,0 etc as your audio device in systemsettings / Computer Administration / Multimedia
Test the audio and enjoy the relaxing KDE's arpeggio.
