[SOLVED] Broken Audio System
#1
Looks like I've broken my Linux Lite audio system.
What I did was

sudo apt-get install grilo-plugins-0.2
sudo apt-get install rhythmbox

Which worked great on lubuntu 14.1 LXDE  (after installing missing basics gcc, make and samba).
Got it playing music from a Windows XP based Twonky media server.

But I tried the same thing on Linux Lite, I found I'd lost the sound.
So I removed the grilo plugin and rhythmbox.

But now, when vlc is invoked on a terminal, I get the following

VLC media player 2.1.4 Rincewind (revision 2.1.4-0-g2a072be)
[0x9ebf6c8] pulse audio output error: PulseAudio server connection failure: Timeout
[0x9e378f8] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
Gtk-Message: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to retrieve property `GtkRange::activate-slider' of type `gboolean' from rc file value "((GString*) 0xb010aab0)" of type `GString'
Gtk-Message: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to retrieve property `GtkRange::activate-slider' of type `gboolean' from rc file value "((GString*) 0xb010aab0)" of type `GString'
[0x9f98310] main playlist: stopping playback
ALSA lib pulse.c:243Sadpulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Timeout

[0x9ebf6c8] alsa audio output error: cannot open ALSA device "default": Connection refused
[0x9ebf6c8] main audio output error: module not functional
[0xaf46f3f0] main decoder error: failed to create audio output


When the VLC window finally appears and I try and play, get the following in VLC error window

Audio output failed:
The audio device "default" could not be used:
Connection refused.


Not sure what the best way forward is now.
I'd like to get vlc, pulseaudio and alsa working again, without distroying the Linux Lite.
But I'd also like to get rhythmbox working on Linux Lite with the grilo plugin, to get the same link up with the Twonky server, as is possible with lubuntu.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I know you believe you understand what you think I said. But I'm not sure you realise that what you heard is not what I meant.
