Hi,

Sorry, not been following the thread but has sound ever worked? Have you 
tried ALSA without PA? If so, does that work?
For me, Debian & TDE have often had no sound on fresh install and it's 
required me to run 'alsactl init' to initialise the ALSA sound system. 
You obviously need alsautils/tools & friends installed. Once that works 
then PA should be straight forward, I use it for network audio without 
problem.

Mike.
