[kde-freebsd] pulseaudio configuration ?

  I moved my workstation to a new hard drive last week, 8.2 stable and 
installed KDE from ports 4.7.4

  The sound was working and the speech-dispatcher repeatedly complaining about 
not seeing any text-to-speech. (it seems espeaker needs PulseAudio support but 
breaks when you try to enable it)
  I then re-installed some other ports to enable PulseAudio in those, after 
which silence . . . .
  Any suggestions on locating the source of silence would be appreciated.

cat /dev/sndstat
  FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 64bit 2009061500/amd64)
  Installed devices: pcm0: <Creative CT5880-C> (play/rec) default

attached is the output from  "pacmd ls"

  But I was wondering if the silence could be due to a one of the pulseaudio 
config files being reset?

grep  ^etc /var/db/pkg/pulseaudio-0.9.23/+CONTENTS
  etc/dbus-1/system.d/pulseaudio-system.conf
