No sound anymore whatever I try

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Describe your system:
 - Linux distribution: Ubuntu
 - Machine type: 32-bit
 - Mupen64Plus version: 1.4
 - Plugins used: Rice Video, JttL SDL Audio, Blights's SDL input

Describe the problem:

Since I use PulseAudio I don't get anymore sound. Is there a way of getting
it again. I tried many things. I also killed the PulseAudio soundserver and
started mupen64plus new, but  nothing happened. The audio plugin says, that
there is no available audio device.

Please provide any additional information below.

Have you tried running `pasuspender mupen64plus` rather than just `mupen64plus`?
That'll tell PulseAudio to let go of the sound card until mupen64plus exits.

This is not a mupen64plus bug; it's a system problem.  The Jttl_audio plugin 
uses SDL
for sound output, so if you're not hearing anything then you should start by 
looking
at SDL.  The way that SDL handles sound output in Linux is that it has a bunch 
of
different output modules which can be used depending upon the environment.  It
probably defaults to ALSA, so one way you could start is by making sure that 
you have
the ALSA plugin for PulseAudio and that alsa-type output is working.  Another
possible troubleshooting path that you can take is to force SDL to use a 
different
audio output type.  There is an environment variable (SDL_AUDIODRIVER) which 
you can
export to force SDL to use a different audio output module, then you can try 
running
Mupen64Plus.  Possible values for this variable for a Linux system are: dsp, 
alsa,
artsc, esd, and dma.
