Now. Do I like pulseaudio? NO. This is a huge, immense, pain in the patootie that strikes me as unnecessary and annoying and frankly I hate that I had to go through all this work just to get sound to working. But it's working. So there's that. Thanks for giving me a place to vent.

It's an Azalia on a AMD K9A Platinum.

But, the plot thickens... or something thickens...
I just bought a USB sound adapter. It also doesn't work. And this time pulseaudio is giving me errors. ALSA sees it, alsa tries to load it, pulseaudio does something with it and it doesn't work. And I would love to paste in the log output... but GUESS WHAT. And if I right click on a blank section, it selects everything. Let me type it in here... by hand... MANUALLY.
