Could it be that Mumble does *not* use PulseAudio, but instead attempts
to use ALSA directly?

PulseAudio works best when all the applications on the system use it.
:-)  You can check with =E2=80=98pavucontrol=E2=80=99 the list of applicati=
ons currently
doing audio with PulseAudio.

Note that applications that use PulseAudio, including =E2=80=98pavucontrol=
=E2=80=99,
automatically start the pulseaudio daemon if it=E2=80=99s not already runni=
ng.

HTH!
Ludo=E2=80=99.
