As others noted, this does indeed sound like pulseaudio doing bad
things.  Can I suggest bringing the machine along to the next meeting
and we can have a look at it?  There are monitors, keyboards, speakers,
etc at the Liverpool Social Centre so we can just plug your machine in
and see if we can't get it to work.
