Comment:

 Just as a little update: I now purged PulseAudio from that ThinkPad T42 as
 well cause honestly spoken I just could not stand fiddling around with non
 working sound that was working just fine prior to installing PulseAudio. I
 also had sound hicchups on starting to play a sound even while using a
 properly set up and working rtkit setup. And AFAIR there was even another
 problem.

 So in my perception Pulseaudio just horribly broke what was working just
 fine before without giving visible benefit to me and in the moment I am
 just not willing to spend lots more time on tracking down this issues. Its
 too much for me and there are more important things for me at the moment.

 I might revisit Pulseaudio in the future, for now its just not reliable
 and stable enough for me and I purged it to unbreak my systems. Its also
 difficult to judge where the problem might be when I have layer upon layer
 upon layer just to play sound. When using Pulseaudio I suddenly have stuff
 that I have to set elsewhere than in Phonon. I think Phonon at the moment
 not yet fully integrated all of Pulseaudio features which contributed to
 my perception that I had just the same as before with the exception thats
 its not working reliably anymore.

 Sorry for now following your suggestions at the moment, I think you spend
 quite some time for writing this, but in the moment its too much for me.

 Resolving as lackofresponse for now.
