Bug#516692: audacity: no PulseAudio devices presented

[Ben Finney]

Package: audacity
Version: 1.3.6-3
Severity: normal

Audacity, in its configuration for audio devices (Edit → Preferences →
Audio I/O), presents only ALSA and OSS devices. The PulseAudio devices
should also be presented on systems that have PulseAudio working.

This is a problem on systems that *only* have audio working via
PulseAudio. For example, an X desktop running on a remote server,
which must communicate over the network to a workstation running a
PulseAudio server that controls the workstation's audio devices.
