Ok here is the data.
I Did a fresh reboot of machine
mlaks@Rashi:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: VT1708S Analog [VT1708S Analog]

card 1: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]

Then tried to run a sound application (vlc ) no sound

then i killed the pulseaudio as in my first email
then now I just started vlc again
this time I can hear the lecture...

mlaks@Rashi:~$ cat /etc/pulse/default.pa
#!/usr/bin/pulseaudio -nF

### Make some devices default
#set-default-sink output
#set-default-source input
So, even just after reboot and as it would be expected, the two cards
are listed by alsa, and yet, first time round PA doesn't find them both.
When you restart PA, they are correctly identified and subsequently
functional through PA. How odd.
I don't really know now: I'd probably try whether card0 is functional in
alsa before you restart PA:
$ aplay -D front <sound-file.wav>
(there are some files under /usr/share/sounds/ )
AFAIK udev should have initiated loading the sound modules, and if the
above aplay cmd doesn't work, I'd check
$ lsmod | grep snd
Are there any pulseaudio related messages in syslog?
$ grep -i pulse /var/log/syslog
And lastly, anything catching your eye in the output of (before and
after PA restart):
$ pacmd dump
