Just don't use Gnome. Upstream is going to make Pulseaudio default. KDE as well, maybe.
I don't see KDE upstream doing that. They have Phonon. What's more, most KDE apps today count on Phonon being there. KDE upstream won't do that without expecting to break KDE.
Admittedly my view on this is skewed, since I follow PA's development pretty closely, but one of the devs on PA (Colin Guthrie) has mentioned getting various patches he's done for Mandriva's KDE implementation such that KDE's mixer and such supports pulseaudio natively. Phonon would output directly to pulse in that case, I believe.
