It's quite a dump there, but nothing looks out of the ordinary. The pulseaudio 
things you see are just because it's not doing "realtime" (which I dont think 
it really does anyway), so that's all just noise.

Pulseaudio "owns" the soundcard and prevents other applications from accessing 
it. You're "supposed" to send sound to it.

Try like this:


Code:
mplayer -ao pulse /usr/share/sounds/phone.wav
mplayer -ao alsa /usr/share/sounds/phone.wav



You should just get an error on the *second* one. If that's correct, then you 
definitely just have something flipped. Sometimes you have to turn off or on 
things like headphone jack sense and such. In sum, if it's not giving you 
errors, then its probably just muted somewhere!

Or you could just `killall pulseaudio` when you log in and play things 
directly, but that's kind of cheap  ;)
