I am running KDE in X 3.3.6, and it does appear to be starting all kinds
of funny things (I am new to KDE so unaware of the daemons that are run by
it). A ps ax shows up things like kaudioserver, kwmsound, maudio -media
917512 - but other X apps work fine, like XMMS, or bzflag (using native
audio).

That's generally correct, yes..

Yes, I am using the pcm drivers.

I am going to hack it a bit more and try installing some more libs, and
see if it helps..any more ideas, anyone? Those that do have linuxulator
sound working, perhaps can you provide a ls -al of your
/compat/linux/dev..?
