I can reinstall pulseaudio ;) I simply wonder how to get audio out
working. Just having pulseaudio installed, there's no audio out on any
of my Linux installs, but Ubuntu Studio 11.10 is the first install where
audio doesn't work with or without pulseaudio. The HDSPe AIO is detected
as usual, new is the dbus error for hwinfo. The TerraTecs are used for
MIDI only.

$ hwinfo --sound

failed in file ../../dbus/dbus-errors.c line 280.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
