Mmmh. It's not exactly like that: If you use pcm.pulse and ctl.pulse, then you need to specify pulse as the virtual ALSA device. If you want "all alsa applications to be redirected to pulse", you need: pcm.!default { type pulse } ctl.!default { type pulse } > The players Rhythmbox, xine all with pulseaudio default output plugins. That should work.

I recommend first trying to make it work with the files included with pulseaudio (backup /etc/pulse, move the dir out of /etc and emerge again pulseaudio) before trying anything else. Supposedly, pulseaudio should "just works". Since the first time I installed it I have never touched the files in /etc/pulse, except to change the log-level of the daemon. I'm on GNOME 3, so things are a little different, and I don't remember exactly the dialogs, but instead of the Gentoo wiki page, I would follow this: http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup And more specifically: http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#GNOME and http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#GStreamerApplications Also, in really weird cases, the ALSA device gets its volume muted: You can try to remove (back up first) /etc/asound.conf, and run (as root) alsamixer -V all and trying to unmute and turn up the volume on everything. When you hear something with any player, return the asound.conf to /etc and try again.
