   Thanks for responding. After 15 hours of work yesterday   
   I found that, for me, pulseaudio is worthless. All that   
   is required is to have a valid /etc/asound.conf file   
   and point  to it:   
   export ALSA_CONFIG_PATH=/etc/asound.conf   
      
   Importantly, *NONE* of the online documentation for   
   pulseaudio could be applied to the version included   
   in 14.2.   
      
   As for your followup, all my current problems stemmed   
   from a slackpkg upgrade of my 14.2 packages. I'm   
   not ready to jump to current (15?) yet.   
      
   Rule of thumb: Never allow an update/upgrade process   
   to overwrite your current config files.
