I tried this but when pulseaudio tries to start I get the following output 
in the syslog:

Aug 25 23:17:57 nexus pulseaudio[2956]: alsa-util.c: Cannot find mixer 
control "Master".
Aug 25 23:17:57 nexus pulseaudio[2956]: alsa-util.c: Cannot find fallback 
mixer control "PCM".

I'm not sure what to make of this and how to fix it.
