Update:

I missed reading the line that pulseaudio needs to be removed before
installing apulse. So I un-installed apulse and pulseaudio and re-installed
apulse. Typing that command at the shell prompt appears to do nothing.

Un-installed apulse and re-installed pulseaudio. Now it sees the cards in
/proc/asound.

pavucontrol's configuration has
HDA-ATI HDMI Profile: off
HD-Audio Generic Profile: Analog Stereo Output

and the Output Devices tab displays
HD-Audio Generic Analog Stereo Port: Line out (Plugged in)

and,

$ pulseaudio-ctl
No PulseAudio daemon running, or not running as session daemon.

pulseaudio-ctl v1.67

  /usr/bin/pulseaudio-ctl {up,down,mute,mute-input,set,atmost,full-status} [n]

  Where up and down adjust volume in ±5 % increments
  Where up and down [n] adjust volume in ±n % increments
  Where mute toggles the mute status on/off
  Where mute-input toggles the input status on/off
  Where set set the volume to [n] %
  Where atmost only takes effect if current volume is higher than [n]
  Where full-status prints volume level, sink and source mute state to stdout

  Optionally, redefine an upper threshold in /home/rshepard/.config/pulseaudio-ctl/config

  Volume level     :  %
  Is sink muted    :
  Is source muted  :
  Detected sink    :
  Detected source  :

while,

# ps ax | grep pulseaudio
  4519 ?        S<l    0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio
20780 pts/3    S+     0:00 grep pulseaudio
21199 ?        S<l   33:28 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --system --disallow-module-loading
27906 ?        S<l    0:00 pulseaudio

do I need to kill all pulseaudio processes then re-start using 'pulseaudio &'?
