I think I've gone through every possible value here from asound.state to
each setting in KDE itself. Still, the only sound that works is the one
coming from line-out, without the port replicator, no sound exists
whatsoever. Both of the below controls are set to false in asound.state
and cooresponding KDE settings in kmix.

I think the concern becomes though, regardless of what kde was doing after
the fact, this condition didn't exits in <= 2.6.10 when no other
applications where changed around it.
