Package: pulseaudio Version: 9.0-5 Severity: important --- Please enter the report below this line. --- For some time (~1month) pulseaudio doesn't work anymore on my system (after I upgrade my os ~1mounth ago). Until now I just removed it because didn't had time to check. But today I've installed libpulse0-dbgsym and pulseaudio-dbgsym packages and I could trace (more or less) the problem.

Yours, BogDan. P.S.
