New users are not added to pulse-rt, and the sound devices under alsa are not created with the pulse-rt group permissions. So it can't write to anything. Adding a file in /etc/udev/rules.d/00-permissions.rules that contains... oops, forgot, can't paste. Basically copy 40-alsa.rules, and change all instances of NAME=".." to "GROUP="pulse-rt"". Restart your window manager, and everything should start showing up. Now. Do I like pulseaudio? NO.
