Bug#740931: pulseaudio: KDE freezes on boot when pulseaudio is installed

[Borja Durán]

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 4.0-6+b1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Dear Maintainer,
I did a fresh install of Debian 7.4 with KDE desktop in two different computers
(both Intel HDA).
I realized than most of the times, after boot, kmix didn's start (but sound was
still working) and launching apps freezes the computer. I couldn't even turn
off graphically. It's not happening on every boot, but maybe 80%.
I found this in kdm.log;

The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:

Then I found this thread, where more people has the same problem:

The given solution is removing pulseaudio. I removed pulseaudio and now
everything works perfect.
I did a fresh install on a another laptop of the unestable debian (jessie) from
the 19-03-2014, but still the same error.
