Package: pulseaudio
Version: 4.0-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrade to my sid system yesterday sound has stopped working.

If I type pulseaudio on a terminal it does say it is running - thus:-

alan at kanga:~$ pulseaudio
E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.
alan at kanga:~$ 


I checked with alternative system (linux mint) and sound is working perfectly on that.

I have an standard intel motherboard with audio chip on the motherboard.  I am not sure precisely
which - alsamixer reports chip as Intel CougarPoint HDMI
