Yeah, it does look like something's up with pulseaudio.

I'm not really well-versed in troubleshooting it, but most of the time
any problems I've had came from not having the right compatibility
modules or plugins installed, I suspect because I upgraded.

It wasn't in the list of packages you listed because it doesn't have
"pulse" in its name, but do you have the "xine-libs-extras" package
installed?  There's a "xineplug_ao_out_pulseaudio.so" plugin in there.

HTH,
