Public bug reported: After upgrading to Kubuntu 11.10 from Kubuntu 11.04 pulseaudio will not start. I can start it from a terminal via pulseaudio -D but I won't hear any sound. I do have sound without pulseaudio running but am concerned that not having pulseaudio running may affect other applications. I expected pulseaudio to start but it doesn't start. I verified by running ps aux | grep pulseaudio.
