Yes.  gdm comes up talking.
Deedra logs in -- the login prompt is perfectly accessible).
The ps utility shows me that orca, speech-dispatcher, and pulseaudio
are all running under her account.
The "gdm" user account also has a running pulseaudio and a running
speech-dispatcher.  However,
Deedra has no sound.
It is a pulseaudio problem, as far as I can tell.
Has gdm's pulseaudio instance locked the sound card, somehow?  That is
how it seems to me.
