Running paman from a shell gets a connection refused, and I don't see anything
in /etc/rc.d/init.d to start a server which could then refuse the connection.

And of course my system is now silent.  Consulting First Steps, I tried
 "pulseaudio -nC" and got sort of a prompt, which when I enter "help", spits
out a long list of options.  As I'm sitting there contemplating the next step,
my kde related sound effects to indicate the type of incoming mail are now
working again.

I've done a killall on it and restarted with some of the other options, but
they all exit for various permissions problems.  And I think my audio is
still working but I have not tested all paths.

A ps -ea shows its running, and an lsof|grep pulse returns a lengthy list.
But nothing has made it to dmesg or messages.

padevchooser is there, but gives no output anyplace.  A ^C kills it back to
the shell prompt.

pavucontrol runs, puts up a connection refused box and exits when the box is
closed.

pavumeter (--record) only show the refused box.

Next?
