Thanks. /dev/snd/*, /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer all have valid ACLs. (user:gilboa:rw-) It looks like a pulseaudio problem. While it does start, I get no sound and older OSS/Alsa application either fail miserably (cannot open /dev/dsp) or stay mute. (amarok over xine) Starting pulseaudio -vv and playing an MP3 from amarok (xine engine, surround40 configuration) doesn't play anything but leaves the following console-trail. $ pulseaudio -vv I: main.c: Page size is 4096 bytes I: main.c: Fresh high-resolution timers available!
