When Audacity starts, it prints this line:

------
ALSA lib conf.c:3683:(snd_config_hooks_call) Cannot open shared library libasound_module_conf_pulse.so (/gnu/store/nyylgcnzmbw8wrn4sna2crl0g7zxxh33-alsa-lib-1.2.2/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_conf_pulse.so: libasound_module_conf_pulse.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
------

But, this file exists in the "pulseaudio" output of alsa-plugins, not
alsa-lib:

/gnu/store/pwsz9hf66na0s9x3ay9qk02vk8l4v8vi-alsa-plugins-1.2.2-pulseaudio/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_conf_pulse.so

On Debian, this library is found at:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/libasound_module_conf_pulse.so
