No output devices available so no sound

[uwog]

On a stock F13 I get no sound (unless I remove pulse and use alsa directly). In the GNOME Sound Preferences dialog I only have a "Dummy output" device listed.

pulseaudio -v -v -v : http://pastebin.com/rLiwRByp

Adding myself to the 'audio' group worked.

Looking at the getfacl output the problem is indeed permission based. Adding your user to the audio groups would certainly mask the problem but it isn't the 'right' fix. If you end up with more than one user on your system in the future and try to do a 'fast user switch', the fact that one user is in the audio group will lead to problems.

Generally speaking the problem you're encountering is below PA in the linux system. Console-kit or udev is not properly writing ACLs on the device nodes for your user when you log in. Perhaps you start your session in a strange way, or perhaps some issue with your login manager means it does not properly register your session with console-kit.

Ultimately, ck-list-sessions would tell you, but this is very much not a PA bug and as such I'd recommend asking in your distros community channels (mailing lists, forums, IRC channels etc) for help on fixing this issue properly.
