Last time I tried it wasn't working, I admit it was some time ago, but
as I don't really want to enter again the details of KDE configuration
on Gentoo, I'll gladly live myself as it is, it works just fine for me
as systemwide daemon.

As you said, to use systemwide instance you need to be more aware of the
insight, so I leave those as an exercise to the reader. Actually if you
want to use systemwide in Gentoo, the simplest thing is to disable both
gnome and X flags for PulseAudio, so that the two modules aren't built
at all. In case of gnome flag (gconf module) a warning is displayed
after installation.
