Bug 518772

output of pulseaudio -vvv

Description of problem:
I've looked at the other "no sound" bugs, but they all seem slightly different than mine, so I'm opening a new one. 

For a while I was having intermittent problems with no sound being produced on my system. The mixers, including the "advanced" mixer, showed that the volume was up, and no error was produced by sound applications, and yet no sound came. 

Recently, the problem became persistent. If I kill pulseaudio and run it with -vvvv when attempting to play a sound with paplay, I see the following:

The full output, from startup to ^C, is attached. Other relevant information follows.

I have had this problem under at least the following kernel versions:

kernel-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64
kernel-2.6.29.6-217.2.7.fc11.x86_64

Pulse and Alsa packages (note that both the i586 and x86_64 version of some packages seem to be installed. Is that normal?):

This is really impairing my ability to work with this system, so if there's any other information you need, or if anyone in the Westford Red Hat office would like to see the laptop first-hand, just ask.
