And for me this release causes a behavioural regression that is a more
aggravating sound issue than any I have had to previously face since
the switch to pulseaudio.

To have sound in games; pysol, chromium, etc. I must 1st killall
pulseaudio

But then to have sound in mplayer or with browser plugins I must 1st
launch pulseaudio -D

Additionally when launching the games with sound they all give the error
[charles@(protected)
*** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused

but do run now an with sound.

But there are those games, such as Frozen-bubble which will segfault if
pulse is not running but will now have no sound if pulse Is running.
