No sooner have I got my Firefox/RealPlayer combination playing properly

This is due to most audio usability progress, at least in Ubuntu, being
targeted toward GNOME.

The latest is that when Amarok starts up it reports

xine was unable to initialise any drivers

Was RealPlayer running (meaning open) when you started Amarok? If so,
you'll need to wrap RealPlayer using the aoss script in the alsa-oss
package (in universe): aoss realplay [presuming you use the realplay
package from the dapper-commercial repository]

Under Gnome I could set the headset as default soundcard - I can't seem to
find a way of doing this in KDE.

KMix doesn't yet provide this functionality. Note that the GNOME utility
actually invokes the asoundconf(1) python script backend. Use asoundconf
set-default-card to configure that.

Thanks,
