I'm starting to work on this.

To allow aplay and arecord (or other alsa-only programs, if there are any) work properly, we should add alsa-plugins to the image too, since that will provide the alsa-pulseaudio plugin. It seems that alsa-plugins isn't currently included in oe-core, so I'll need to add a recipe for that.

Yes, we'll definitely need that.  There's a recipe in meta-oe and another one in meta-guacamayo.

I have patches ready that I will submit once I get access to openembedded-core-contrib.

This bug is marked as "doc changes required". What does that mean? What documentation needs updating?

Hi,

At a glance, I don't think you need documentation changes set to "yes" on this bug.  I could be wrong but that is my gut feel here.  If I am wrong, please let me know where you think the YP user docs would need to be updated.  If not, we need to clear this flag to "no".

I cleared the flag now. I don't see the need for documentation updates either.

This bug is fixed. Sorry, forgot to close this earlier.

Verified on master: 7a402301c9c8fa9a5262d6d29b2ea199ff0dc07a

I used a core-image-sato image for genericx86-64 on NUC and verified with "pactl info" command that server name is pulseaudio and server version is 6.0.

There are more steps to do in order to verify this issue or the status can be changed in "verified"?

I'm personally fine with marking this as verified, but if more confidence is desired, you could run general audio test cases (if such test cases exist) to make sure there are no regressions.

The sound works well. According above comments I change the status as verified.
