14 You shouldn't need the old kde USE flag anymore. Remove it from any of your
15 packages in /etc/portage/, and your make.conf, unless you have a specific
16 reason for wanting it there. Enable USE="plasma" instead for optional KDE
17 plasma addons.

19 If you have mixed stable and testing arch, then it'll take some digging or
20 patience to get your problem resolved. On a stable system here,
21 pulseaudio-11.1-r1 installs without conflicts and works.
