+
+While there are some strange characters in that output too (again on a
+localised string), it also shows that it's using an auto-null sink.
+
+This happens when we cannot open the real sound h/w
+
+Can you supply:
+
+sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
+
+and
+
+pulseaudio -k; pulseaudio -vvvvv
+
+output? (for the second one, you may have to do:
+echo "autospawn=no" >> ~/.pulse/client.conf
+in order for it to actually start on the command line and not be
+autospawned by something else!)
+
+Cheers
