For some reason pulseaudio is starting now. I don't think my original
observation was wrong, but ... Before I set up the .config/autstart in
the users account I did a reboot and when I logged in pulseaudio was
active.
running 'pacmd suspend false' resulted in :
"Welcome to PulseAudio! Use "help" for usage information"
this did not stop the puluseaudio daemon.
I made sure the hdmi was selected in the output tab of the "Sound"
System settings as well as being selected in the Hardware tab.
After this I ran :
pacmd play-file /usr/share/kde4/apps/amarok/data/first_run_jingle.ogg 0
Which did not result in anything
Then I ran
pacmd play-file /usr/share/kde4/apps/amarok/data/first_run_jingle.ogg 1
Which resulted in playing the jingle on the laptop's speakers.
Thanks much for your debugging expertise. Do you think it is time for
me to file a bug????

I have it working now. Before I filed a bug report I decided to enter
the "radeon.audio=1" to the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file. When I rebooted
it worked perfectly. I'm not sure what I did added the radeon command
in the boot menu, but what every was wrong is now fixed.
Thank you again for sharing your expertise.... sure appreciate your
help.
