# Phonon causes a crash. Yes, there are still bugs in there. Some people have reported the xine PulseAudio output to crash, so you might want to try to (re)move xine's PulseAudio plugin. You can find it in /usr/lib/xine/plugins//xineplug_ao_out_pulseaudio.so. If it still crashes install all the debug packages (especially for xinelib) for your distri and get a backtrace by attaching gdb with "gdb " and then type "thread apply all bt" at the gdb prompt. Report the bug at bugs.kde.org.
# Devices from /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc are not listed. Phonon uses a function introduced in alsa-libs 1.0.14 to find those devices. To make this function list your entry you need to add a name hint. E.g.

hint {
show on
description "Name to display for the device"
}

A complete example that adds a new volume control named Phonon to your mixer:

pcm.softvolPhonon {
type softvol
slave.pcm "default:CARD=0"
control {
name "Phonon"
card 0
}
min_dB -51.0
max_dB 0.0
resolution 100
hint {
show on
description "My Soundcard with extra Volume Control"
}
}
