That has not been my experience. I removed pulse except that library and
the sound won't work on my laptop unless I do rcalsasound restart. BTW,
I have tried VLC as suggested by another person and that too did not work.

Mukul,

1) Check is PulseAudio enabled. Use Yast sound module:
   YaST > Sound > button Other > PulseAudio configuration
It should say that PulseAudio is not installed.

I did the check and it does say that PulseAudio is not installed.
2) Remove you sound card from YaST sound, close YaST sound, then open again.
This should find and reconfigure your card for current sound system.

Hi,

I have done this and the sound works (for mplayer, vlc etc., no sound
for videos on youtube through Firefox or Opera) until I reboot the
machine. Once I reboot, the things go back to what they were before I
did step 2.

It helped me after I did not have sound post-kernel update. Now audio
works fine.
