Therefore, for some reason, pulseaudio-module-udev was quite needed here.IMO, pulseaudio-module-udev shouldn't be among "Recommends" anymore. After all, recommending something means that it is NOT essential to the functioning.
The same thing happened here. I first downgraded to 8.0-2+b2 and had
sound again. Then Google lead me to this report and I upgraded
pulseaudio but, this time, installed pulseaudio-module-udev too, which
solved the problem.
