Thanks, Ed. After setting the front microphone to 0 it works.

Whew!

Rich,

In Slackware 14.2, older audacity and pulse easily confuse each other.
Sometimes setting the playback hw:x,y confuses the heck out of
pulseaudio.  Here I set:

Host = ALSA
Playback Device = pulse
Recording device = default: Front microphone:0

I'm using the front mic jack on my Sounndbaster so adjust as needed.

Still clueless on the source of the problem. However, aplay -L shows all
available audio cards, sound-test produces its default sound, and mplayer
produces output from the podcast .mp3 I downloaded to the speakers and the
Yamaha headset (which is much clearer than the speakers, Ed).

Rumor has it that Slackware-15.0 will be released Real Soon Now. In the
meantime the default version of audacity is 2.3.2; I don't know if I can
upgrade it on this host.

Sigh,

Rich
