Comment # 1 on bug 913062 from Takashi Iwai

Hmm, there's been no significant fixes about PA, we just reverted two patches
we added after openSUSE 13.2.

Does aplay play via PulseAudio, too?  Or it's using a dmix or other setup?

Could you check pulseaudio packages in OBS multimedia:libs?  This hasn't been
submitted to FACTORY because it's a RC version.  But this looks more stable and
many fixes are included, so we may really push this to FACTORY now.
