Hi,
Sorry, not been following the thread but has sound ever worked? Have you
tried ALSA without PA? If so, does that work?
For me, Debian & TDE have often had no sound on fresh install and it's
required me to run 'alsactl init' to initialise the ALSA sound system.
You obviously need alsautils/tools & friends installed. Once that works
then PA should be straight forward, I use it for network audio without
problem.

Success!
Got to it by searching "PulseAudio plugin for ALSA" and going to the
first result at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio.
Followed the installation instructions and set up autostarting. Now
Skype and flash have sound.

I wrote too soon :-(
After reboot, my TDE has no sound at all! Amarok on starting says
"Xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers".
So I cleaned out PulseAudio. Uninstalled and reinstalled Amarok,
Xine. Also installed jack.
Copied necessary modules over from my Lubuntu, where sound works, and
installed them with modprobe.
But still no sound, even in VLC or gxine. Same mesage from Amarok.
Any ideas on what to do?
