As a matter of fact, PulseAudio never worked for me on Debian, every
time something brought it as a dependency the only way to fix the
sound was to purge pulseaudio package and install an alternative to
the package which pulled it.
The only time I has somehow working PulseAudio was when I installed
Ubuntu on a computer I was going to sell. However, it had some
extremely weird behaviour: music did play only as long as I was on the
same virtual console as the X server — as soon as I switched to vt1,
sound disappeared. To me, it's an obvious misfeature, which doesn't
exist when I'm using just ALSA and nothing more.
