It's all described in detail in: http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/42 But to give a short for it, sometimes my wife clicks to start ALSA playing; sometimes it plays, sometimes it doesn't. Enabling dmix doesn't seem to help :/. They're pointing at ALSA; load-module module-alsa-sink device=dmix sink_name=output And sometimes when she clicks to start the music: Nov 13 15:56:52 tulip pulseaudio[25762]: socket-server.c: socket(PF_INET6): Address family not supported by protocol Nov 13 15:56:52 tulip pulseaudio[25762]: module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: "device=hw:0 sink_name=alsa_output.pci_10de_6a_alsa_playback_0"): init ialization failed.

I'm really frusterated and was hoping for any help at all.
