kde-settings-pulseaudio includes the support to enable pulseaudio. yum groupinstall kde-desktop will ensure that (as well as any other new default components) it is installed
Sorry, it is my mistake. I was sure, all related rpm packets will be installed by dependences. But not all is so strict.
It's not strict wrt pulseaudio, since it is possible to run kde without it.
