Comment 11 for bug 274124

For those of you who have tried the test package and found that things still don't work, please try the following:

1. SHut down/kill pulseaudio. This can be done either by running "killall pulseaudio" or "pulseaudio -k", the latter probably being more full-proof.
2. Delete all .pulse related files from your home directory, "cd ; rm -r .pulse*" should do the trick.
3. YOu can either log out and back in, reboot, or restart pulseaudio with "pulseaudio -D --log-target=syslog"

Then try playing audio as you have previously and let me know the results.

Thanks.
