Track01.wav plays fine.

I was not aware of remote-query, because I always use my own local
repository. Thanks for that useful pointer.

As said, it plays with the default /usr/local/etc/pulse/default.pa.
And why FF with PULSEAUDIO=on does not?

I still have the old FF pkg with PULSEAUDIO=on and could reinstall it
again if someone is willing to help me to mail it down, i.e. where to
look in detail.

There must be some problem with FF and PULSEAUDIO=on because the net is
full of complaints.

Thanks
