I installed Jaunty Alpha 3 64 bit on a test machine a while ago, I've been doing all the updates. With the last update to the HAL and/or PulseAudio sound output was broken. Upon boot and login the system plays a sound as expected, but with a started session there is no sound output. Volume control displays a strange thing, my sound card is detected as an input source, but not as an output.

I have checked with alsamixer and I have no muted channels, and my sound card is correctly detected and configured. Output of "cat /proc/asound/cards" follows:
 0 [CK804 ]: NFORCE - NVidia CK804
                      NVidia CK804 with ALC850 at irq 22

I tried playing playing a sound from the terminal, I get no error but I don't hear anything:
pmfa@sardinha:~$ aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono

Trying the same command from a text console yields the following error:
pmfa@sardinha:~$ aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav
