Hrm, pulseaudio's logging seems to have changed. You can try running "pulseaudio -k;pulseaudio -v" then dig through the spew: I: alsa-util.c: Device hw:M5455,0 doesn't support 44100 Hz, changed to 48000 Hz. I: alsa-sink.c: Successfully opened device hw:M5455,0. If you see something like that, your hardware requires resampling.
