to check the alsa setup is proper, have a look at the users
~/.asoundrc.asoundconf
there should be two lines like the following (never edit that file by
hand, use the asoundconf command to change anything):
pcm.!default { type pulse }
ctl.!default { type pulse }
the tunnel alsa uses as endpoint is set up through ldm by setting the
PULSE_SERVER variable, it should point to the clients IP at port 4713
(check that by runing "env" in a terminal when logged in)
note that the pulse server only runs on the client, it has nothing
furter to do with sound but being the transport endpoint ... *dont* play
with any pulse stuff on the server, its all alsa on this side (!) ...
