Hi all,

Still working through the fallout from a new install of 11.0. I find that I 
have a strange "kill the sound" problem trying to use VLC. I did the 'one click 
install' thing for this, but it's not working right.

The thing seems to mostly work, but I get no sound. Also, _after_ I've tried to 
run vlc, it has killed all sound. Even the test tools in the control 
center/sound don't work.

When I run it, this is the (pertinent) output:

[00000465] a52 decoder: A/52 channels:2 samplerate:48000 bitrate:192000
*** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused
[00000481] oss audio output error: cannot open audio device (/dev/dsp)
[00000481] pulse audio output error: Failed to connect to server: Connection 
refused
[00000481] pulse audio output error: Pulse initialization failed
No accelerated IMDCT transform found
[????????] x11 video output error: X11 request 42.0 failed with error code 8:
 BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)


Then after, when testing, this is the output:

audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! 
gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect: Connection refused


Any suggestions? Normally, sound does work on this machine and installation, it 
just seems to be vlc that kills it.

TIA,
Cheers,
Simon
