Various PA, system parameters, etc.

GENERAL
Hardware:
Board: ASUS P8H77-I Intel H77 HDMI 1920x1200 at 60Hz
       VIA 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC
Monitor: ASUS VE258 (with built-in speakers)
 Video/Sound connected to the monitor via HDMI cable

System #1:  BLFS (Beyond Linux From Scratch)
 <www.linuxfromscratch.org>
 kernel: 3.14.2, 32-bits
 PulseAudio: v5.0 (compiled from sources)
 ALSA: v1.0.28
 LibreOffice Impress: v4.2.6.3
 etc. (a lot of software - compiled fro sources)

System #2:  Ubuntu 14.04 ("Trusty Tahr"),
 (share same hardware with System #1)
 kernel: 3.13.0-35-generic, 64-bits
 PulseAudio: v4.0                       # yes, Ubuntu latest
 ALSA: 1.0.27.2                         # yes, Ubuntu latest
 LibreOffice Impress: v4.2.6.3
 etc. (latest/up-to-date packages from Ubuntu).

The two "pps" files used during the tests and for behavior comparison:
- The "Good" file: 'Prague.pps' ~9 MB
- The "Bad" file: 'Watermelons.pps' ~7 MB

TEST PROCEDURE
1. Start PulseAudio (autospawn=no):
 pulseaudio --start --log-level=4 --log-time=true \
  --log-target=newfile:palog[p/w][U].txt

 Legend:
 p - Prague.pps  w - Watermelons.pps
 [U] - when test is being run on the Ubuntu system (#2)

2. Start LibreOffice Impress

3. Open File ("p" or "w");  Hope for sound.
Close file after about 5 sec.

4. LibreOffice exits.

5. Stop PulseAudio
 pulseaudio --kill

COMMENTS/PROBEM
1. System #1  'Prague.pps' plays correctly, i.e., GOOD, normal sound.

2. System #1  'Watermelons.pps' doesn't play, i.e., NO sound, BAD. The PROBLEM.

3. System #2  BOTH file play correctly (normally). GOOD.

    details as to how and where ( > 9 MB).
