[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#768383: Problem solved

[Alan McConnell]

The solution is/was ridiculously simple.  On my system I have
to have pulseaudio running, to get any sound.  When I had
attempted to get pulseaudio started, with  pulseaudio --start ,
an error message was returned.   However it turns out that
despite the error message, pulseaudio _was_ started.  And my
sound works splendidly, as I discovered only by chance about
five hours later.

I thank the folk who responded to the bug report for their
E-mails.
