I upgraded my sid system with the latest set of packages.
I have now lost by sound, but I am not sure why.
When I run alsamixer as root I see a device that appears to be the sound
chip on my motherboard, and using aplay to send a .wav file works.
If I run as me - a user, alsamixer shows a "pulseaudio" card as the only
card. Playing the wave file does nothing.
I presume I have a pulseaudio problem, but I don't know what to do about it.
If I look at the sound settings in the Gnome System Settings, it says be
sound output is a "dummy card". I don't know whether that just implies
its going via pulse-audio, or that pulse audio has not found a real
device and is using a dummy one.
NOTE: the same upgrade seemed to screw up udevd - I get an error message
about failing to queue file, and I have to unplug and replug my usb
mouse and keyboard to make them work.
