Banshee works and Totem works and I have sound with Skype.
Shouldn't there be a basic, default, sound driver that should be retained in an upgrade?
My sound card is a Nvidia nForce2 (Alsa mixer).
What is the default sound driver that Evolution should use? And what do I need to do to get this going?
It is possible this is a pulse audio hiccup. You could remove the alsa-plugins-pulse per something like this blog entry of an openSUSE user:
sontek ( John M. Anderson ) » Achieve Zen with openSUSE 11.0 (i.e Get rid of pulse audio)

Make a note of anything you remove, so you can re-install it later if desired.
