No audio output using Precise due to pulseaudio?

[Mike Holstein]

if it were my box, i would remove/disable all but the RME for
testing/troubleshooting.. i would want to here any known good audio file
play... could be as simple as an alsa or kernel version not supplying
support anymore, or a config issue... i feel the subject line, and your
earlier assumption is not correct though "due to pulse"... i usually run
aplay -l in the terminal to see if alsa is seeing the devices that pulse
would be using...
