pulseaudio update consequences

[Jude DaShiell]

For debian, vlc and mplayer no longer work.  For archlinux, vlc works for 
a short time then dies.  Haven't checked out mplayer yet.  I got vlc 
working in archlinux by adding the user to the audio group before that the 
earlier version of pulseaudio blocked both vlc and mplayer from working.  
If you can't have a user in the audio group, it won't be possible to run 
emacspeak and get output to the sound card in the future due to 
pulseaudio.  I only use alsa and not jackd since this isn't a high end 
system.  On debian I'm told as a result of pulseaudio -k that pulseaudio 
is not installed too so I'm figuring this is all permanently broken at 
this point.
