portaudio provides pulseaudio support.
mscore isn't linked with libportaudio, so sound output is disabled if your sound system runs pulseaudio.
please, add it.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
musescore 1.1-2

The steps to reproduce the issue are very simple :

1. Enable pulseaudio (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pulseaudio)
2. Install mscore
3. launch mscore in a console, you will see this error :
>> init ALSA audio driver failed
>> init ALSA driver failed
4. The play button is grayed, you can't play the score
5. Go to preference panel, tab I/O => You can't choose Portaudio, the checkbox is grayed

To fix that :

1. Install community/portaudio
2. Compile mscore (configure will detect and enable libportaudio)
3. Now, in the preference panel, tab I/O, uncheck ALSA Audio, and check PortAudio
4. restart mscore

Portaudio figures in Optional Deps of musescore package, but it's useless because the library is not detected and loaded at runtime.
It's a High Severity issue for all pulseaudio users.
Could you consider my request ?
