Fortunately when I installed slint, I did so on two separate disks. Doing anything with /etc/asound.conf killed the sound system on the first. The aplay -l command showed the desired card as 2. So I had the default /etc/asound.conf file and added the two suggested lines in replacing <card number> with 2 on the ctl and pcm lines. Rebooting the system got the usual speaker sounds and no speech. So, before I wipe the other disk clean, I'm going to try adding those lines and use 1 for the card number figuring aplay -l isn't exactly accurate. It's possible pulseaudio is seeing these cards differently.
