[Openal] Second Life and 1.9.563

First of all thanks for the great work with OpenAL.  It has allowed me  
to use Second Life with PulseAudio in Linux so that I can get voice  
support.  1.8.466 has been great.  I saw the new version was  
available, so I downloaded, built and dropped it in as a replacement  
for 1.8.466.  Unfortunately, all doesn't appear well for me and Second  
Life with the latest OpenAl Soft lib.  Second Life apparently opens  
different streams for different things.  Voice, media (like an  
internet radio stream) and the base UI stream for feedback and  
environment sounds.  They all work just fine with 1.9.563 except the  
base UI stream.  The PulseAudio manager shows the stream is started  
under 'Sinks' but I do not get audio.  I can play in-world internet  
radio streams and use voice (capture and playback) without issue.  I  
have tried to discern any error(s) by running via a command line, but  
to no avail.  I have used the latest alsoftrc.samples to construct my  
config.  I change the sample in only one way.  I set drivers = pulse.   
I'm not sure how to help debug this issue.  I know that 1.8.466 works  
simply as a replacement to Linden Labs OpenAl lib, but 1.9.563 does  
not.  I'm certainly willing to do some debugging if someone can point  
me in the right direction.
