I'm sorry, that was likely from me as I get those two letters mixed up while 
typing alot.  I think it ought to have been a default included part of any 
pulse-audio installation.  I'm happy it also cured your sound problem as it 
has for most of my installs here in town.  I have 113 current 10.04 installs 
so far in my town!  Only six still are set up as dual boot with windoze.

The -desktop suffix, like kubuntu-desktop will pull the needed things for 
Kubuntu, will get the whole working flavor.  The underlying engine is still 
Ubuntu so I have seen no problems on my machine with three desktops installed.  
About the only time I see Gnome or Xfce however, is when I boot into one to 
show someone what it looks like.  Most of the people, when I show them that, 
really enjoy customizing their own installs to suit themselves!  That freedom 
is something laking in whatever other OS they were used to using!

Yes, if you have multiple desk-tops installed, you also have a choice of which 
to boot into at boot up.  However, you then also have apps available from any 
of the other installed desktops in any one you choose to run!  For instance, I 
only run Kubuntu but use synaptic for a package manager which I like WAY 
better than the default Kubuntu one.
