Getting Sound back - alsaconfig -> pulse (libs problem)

Hey,

I have got some strange Linux sound issues. I had sound, but today I installed jack (in order to try it). Now, if I want to uninstall it, it says:

yaourt -Rd jack 
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: allegro: requires jack
:: baudline-bin: requires jack
:: fluidsynth: requires jack
:: gstreamer0.10-good-plugins: requires jack
:: moc: requires jack
:: mpd: requires jack
:: mplayer: requires jack
:: portaudio: requires jack
:: qjackctl: requires jack
:: recordmydesktop: requires jack

That cannot be true. I already re-ran alsaconfig, but it didn't change anything.

I have no sound in smplayer, mplayer, mpd, amarok and what so ever. However Flash works... I don't understand the probelm. Actually I'm using pulseaudio as far as I'm concerned.

speaker-test -c 2

speaker-test 1.0.25

Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
ALSA lib dlmisc.c:236:(snd1_dlobj_cache_get) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so
Playback open error: -6,No such device or address

These libraries seem to be the issue:  /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so

How do I repair them now?

Best,
wishi

edit: solved by reinstalling the alsa-libs, restarting alsa via rc.d, setting pulseaudio to no-spawn, and reconfiguring the alsa sinks with alsa-conf
