How do I fix the sound? I updated from 8.10 to 9.04 and suffered with the /dev/pts issue but still have a problem with sound.

$ grep pulseaudio /var/log/messages
May 1 22:26:57 illya pulseaudio[3464]: core.c: failed to allocate shared memory pool. Falling back to a normal memory pool.

I saw in this or a duplicate of this bug that shm wasn't loaded. It's there and loaded.

$ ls -ld /dev/shm
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 40 2009-05-01 23:10 /dev/shm

$ mount | grep shm
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,mode=0777)

What gives?

Would a clean install of 9.04 fix this or should I go back to 8.10 until 9.xx has passed beta testing?
