maybe mythfrontend needs to be rebuild with pulseaudio support. Could you try it?

Also remember that we are not supporting pulseaudio in extra and we can't add pulse to mythfrontend

I don't even run pulse - just had it started by accident. thought it might be important to people who ran pulse and myth, tho. It wouldn't be hard to recompile myth for those people with whatever flag is needed to disable pulse, would it?

MythTV is built without pulseaudio support and I don't want use it.
If you want pulseaudio, please rebuilt it from ABS.
