And of course my system is now silent. Consulting First Steps, I tried "pulseaudio -nC" and got sort of a prompt, which when I enter "help", spits out a long list of options. As I'm sitting there contemplating the next step, my kde related sound effects to indicate the type of incoming mail are now working again. I've done a killall on it and restarted with some of the other options, but they all exit for various permissions problems. And I think my audio is still working but I have not tested all paths. A ps -ea shows its running, and an lsof|grep pulse returns a lengthy list. But nothing has made it to dmesg or messages. padevchooser is there, but gives no output anyplace. A ^C kills it back to the shell prompt. pavucontrol runs, puts up a connection refused box and exits when the box is closed. pavumeter (--record) only show the refused box.
