Yes, I do. In fact, in desperation I've installed anything pulse
I could find out there:
[root@dimi ~]# yum list '*pulse*'

But as I explained, the gstreamer plugin for PA would just
output the sound to my USB headphones, not the system speakers.

Yes, see above.

Funny enough, I didn't know where to get it. It wasn't installed on
my system, I installed anything and everything I could find with
'pulse' in name, no luck.

Google, etc, now I discovered that it's in a package called pavucontrol.
Really nice name. How could mere mortals figure this one out? The naming
leaves a lot to be desired...

Maybe, but hacking pulseaudio on the command line is not something
that pops into my mind, I'll admit.
