sure?
Never mind, found the problem after googling a lot:

PA does not work without ConsoleKit, yet the ebuild did not pull CK as a
dep :-/ Will file a bug about it.
As for the results, it's pretty much as I expected: latency cannot
compete with OSS4's vmix. But it isn't worse than stand-alone ALSA+dmix
though, which is surprising.
Another problem: Amarok 2 stopped working. That is, it loads OK, but
there's no sound at all when playing something with the Xine backend.
The Gstreamer backend works, but (as always) sound quality sucks (pops
and crackles). Any way to get Phonon-Xine to work with PA? I tried to
set "audio.driver:alsa" in ~/.xine/config, but to no avail; still no
sound.
yeah, with that set it tries to use alsa, not PA.
"audio.driver:pulse" also doesn't work :-/
Why again are you wasting your time with PA?
Because people claim ALSA+Pulse is better than OSS4. So I ought to
actually try it "with a correct setup, unlike the broken Ubuntu setup",
or else everyone will keep saying I don't know what I'm talking about.
really? There are people claiming that? ok, everything is better than OSS4 -
but PA? That crap is almost as bad as ESD.
Well if I'm going to use ALSA I need something that gives me
per-application volume control since ALSA is too broken to even provide
that while the rest of the world moved on.
