F15 x86_64, basic onboard Intel sound chip, nothing fancy.
Some recent update to F15 seems to have banjaxed my sound output under
KDE. The Systems Settings widget shows only Analog Output, no Pulseaudio,
even with "Special Devices" selected. I restarted the PA server and now
it does appear, but still no sound.
Probabaly some sort of recent change wrt kernel/alsa/drivers, and I'd
venture it's being tickled by kmix's "restore volume on login" feature
(which is largely redundant if using pulseaudio and it's default flat-volume
feature).
right click kmix in systray -> restore -> settings -> configure kmix
uncheck "Restore volumes on login".
