The volume manager in MATE does not give you access to the controls like
the GNOME utilities as they seemed to have removed some bits related to OSS.

Check if your devices are detected by Boomer/OSS using 'audioctl' to list
them.

Then considering the error message regarding the I/O error, determine what
is wrong with the file.
When upgrading Pulseaudio I found several time that it was unable to read
the previous config, in each case I simply removed everything in
.config/pulse as indicated by forums.

It seems that the daemon was already running: try to kill all pulse
processes, remove the config and start fresh.
