Again:

There is a bug in /etc/init.d/alsa-utils. Since next upload please
change

# Exit silently if package is no longer installed
[ -d /lib/alsa-utils ] || exit 0

to
# Exit silently if package is no longer installed
# [ -d /lib/alsa-utils ] || exit 0

AFAIK kde uses a sond daemon called arts ore something like that. Try to kill
the daemon (I think can be done in the kcc) and use jack or pure alsa then.
