Bug#831518: pulseaudio: no sound after upgrade from 8.0.2+b2 to 9.0-1.1

[Tom Overlund]

Also discovered this new "feature" after upgrading. No sound, speakers
directly plugged into the audio out jack. The only indication that anything
was wrong (besides the lack of sound) was the following in /var/log/syslog:
"[pulseaudio] module.c: module-detect is deprecated: Please use
module-udev-detect instead of module-detect!"

If pulseaudio can work without udev, then why does it still depend on
libudev1? How would you even go about setting up a system without udev? As
far as I know, you get it as part of the base install without selecting any
other packages. It's been a default for ages.

At the very least, a warning should be part of the install for breaking
basic functionality for what seems like gratuitous reasons. I don't know
what's the point of having a pulseaudio package that doesn't work without
"Recommends" out of the box on a base install.
