Figured it out. Apparently if you installed VLC first then PulseAudio. VLC has no idea how to 'talk'. A simple uninstall/purge of VLC and reinstall seems to resolve this.
As for the User Account. I removed 'debian' since I'll be running this Beagle 24/7. I didn't want unauthorized WAN access. Still it seems odd that Linux wouldn't auto-add new users to at least the 'audio' group, unless specifically told to do so with a command option (ie --no-snd) after the useradd (or was it adduser; I can't remember) command. I'll forget about Google Music. Youtube audio will play, but man is it choppy. I would assume playing from Google Music would result in the same stuttering.
