   My sound problems began when I updated my system with slackpkg.   
   It seems that pulseaudio has intruded into my system. However,   
   even when I disable pulseaudio I still have no sound. Today   
   I have now spent over four hours trying to get something   
   out of pulseaudio. I can get pactl commands to work and   
   pactl info gives me:   
      
   Server String: /var/run/pulse/native   
   Library Protocol Version: 31   
   Server Protocol Version: 31   
   Is Local: yes   
   Client Index: 0   
   Tile Size: 65472   
   User Name: pulse   
   Host Name: torr   
   Server Name: pulseaudio   
   Server Version: 9.0-rebootstrapped   
   Default Sample Specification: s16le 2ch 44100Hz   
   Default Channel Map: front-left,front-right   
   Default Sink: alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo   
   Default Source: alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo   
   Cookie: 8c6f:cf2f   
      
   There is where my sound problems arise: pulseaudio sends   
   my output to analog-stereo.   
      
   So I want to change that to hdmi output which used   
   to be alsa:device=plughw=1.3   
      
   I need to run pacmd list-sinks to find what   
   is available, but the pacmd command yields:   
      
   No PulseAudio daemon running, or not running as session daemon.   
      
   Well the daemon is running so pacmd is broken.   
      
   I hope to be able to /etc/pulse/client.conf to   
   set the default-sink to something that functions   
   like the alsa:device=plughw=1.3. I can't   
   find any examples.   
      
   WTF?   
      
   Thanks for any suggestions.
