I don't have pulse audio. But what fixed the problem partially for me, was 
your advice of reordering the sound devices in the phonon settings: I had to 
move the first working device up the the Music Category (with "Prefer") so it 
is the very first device.

As long as there is another first device which is not working and shaded gray 
(it says "This device is currently not available."), and therefore the 
working device is  the second one in the list, there is no sound. I think
there is a bug, because phonon should use the first *available* device in the 
list (as it obviously did in version 0.5). While in version 0.6 it seems to 
use the first device regardless if it is available or not.

Right now this behavior breaks amarok when I use the same config files on 
different computers (via NFS or synced). 

Cheers,
Simon
