There is a missing symbolic link from /etc/alsa/conf.d/51-pulseaudio-probe.conf to /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/51-pulseaudio-probe.conf which leads to no audio. The bug was already mentioned in https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1089302-start-0.html for ~1.1.7 and I didn't find a bug report about this, so I filed this bug report for 1.1.8.
This is a bug in media-plugins/alsa-plugins. I think we can drop this part from ebuild: insinto /usr/share/alsa doins "${FILESDIR}"/pulse-default.conf insinto /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d doins "${FILESDIR}"/51-pulseaudio-probe.conf and just rename /etc/alsa/conf.d/99-pulseaudio-default.conf.example -> /etc/alsa/conf.d/99-pulseaudio-default.conf
Ah, sorry. 51-pulseaudio-probe.conf seems to be more smart and can detect if pulseaudio is actually running.
Same problem here, manually creating the symllink worked. Thanks cjaone!
