Yes. Those 3 years at University weren't *entirely* wasted :-)

Most won't, IME.

Yes.

I'm not completely sure. I don't know my way around KDE4 yet. But it's
whatever the Kubuntu default is - I haven't changed anything. But I
suspect it's alsa, as the modprobe.d/ edits did seem to affect things
(although not for the better...).

Loads - but I can't find anything related to "headphones" or "speakers".
Nor does anything else generate sound, though - Kubuntu sets up a
login/logout noise by default (very annoying), and that doesn't do
anything either.
