Resolved.
See elsewhere in this thread.

Problem persists but does not seem critical at this point.

This problem went away for no apparent reason.

This persists and is confusing.
I have sound working under ALSA with YouTube/flash
but nothing else.  No playback of MP3 or recorded video, no sound on
DVDs, no sound on Skype, no sound on softphone.  If I am successfully
recording anything then I'm unable to play it back.

I've googled but so many of the discussions get around to PulseAudio and
what they have to say about it is contusing and often contradictory.
There are claims that ALSA can coexist with Pulse but that hasn't been
my experience.
