So has anyone gotten their sound to work since it broke a few days ago?

In a number of distributions over a period spanning many years, removing  
pulseaudio has been a first, and all too often entirely successful, means  
of getting sound working.

Pulseaudio would be exhibit A in a counterargument to a claim that "all the  
distributions are doing it."

I think it is possible for distributions to get Pulseaudio right. Sabayon  
and Linux Mint seem, in my experience, to be two that have done so. But  
even so, unless you have a specialized need for Pulseaudio, which  
apparently may include very high-end audiophile applications, removing it  
seems generally harmless.
