Binary package hint: pulseaudio

After upgrading from Lucid, the system was unable to reproduce sound. Even "yes > /dev/dsp" had no effect.

For some strange reason, alsamixer showed all channels to be muted while KDE's mixer didn't – But that turned out not to be the problem. Correcting that had no effect.

However, the problem was solved by doing the following:

rm -rf ~/.pulse*
killall -HUP pulseaudio

Whatever it is that's confusing Pulseaudio should be deleted or renamed upon every upgrade.
