I couldn't figure out how to do this (no man page for pulseaudio-utils), 
but eventually found something in th lxmenu for Audio->Pulseaudio Volume 
Contol, and found that analog output was muted.

I had inadvertently left playing earlier in an instance of mocp I'd 
totally forgotten in a minimized terminal.
