Is this going anywhere? Now when installing the updated packages starting pulseaudio returns a 1 (Rightfully so since it fails to start) and causes apt/aptitude to complain about errors in X packages.
i.e. Errors were encountered while processing: pulseaudio pulseaudio-esound-compat pulseaudio-module-gconf pulseaudio-module-hal pulseaudio-module-x11 pulseaudio-module-zeroconf -- pulseaudio-module-hal does not detect sound hardware https://launchpad.net/bugs/76788 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
