Alsa defaults do _not_ route alsa clients through PA even if PA has 
grabbed PCM device.  Would be nice if it checked for that.

Anyway, the system installed with an /etc/asound.conf file (which is not 
owned by any package BTW) which somehow got removed.  I restored it from 
a backup and that got alsa clients working again.

In case anyone cares, here is what asound.conf contains:

#
# Place your global alsa-lib configuration here...
#

@hooks [
         {
                 func load
                 files [
                         "/etc/alsa/pulse-default.conf"
                 ]
                 errors false
         }
]


and /etc/alsa/pulse-default.conf contains:


# PulseAudio plugin configuration

# Let's create a virtual device "pulse" for mixer and PCM

pcm.pulse {
     type pulse
     hint {
         description "PulseAudio Sound Server"
     }
}

ctl.pulse {
     type pulse
     hint {
         description "PulseAudio Sound Server"
     }
}

# Let's make it the default!

pcm.!default {
     type pulse
     hint {
         description "Default"
     }
}

ctl.!default {
     type pulse
     hint {
         description "Default"
     }
}
