Even logging in as my Kodi user, I still only got the dummy device in pavucontrol. Logging in as admin, I could see all devices. I decided to just reformat and set up Kodi the old way. It seems that part of the problem is my soundbar or TV passing the audio to the soundbar. Alsa stops working after a few minutes if there is no content playing, or if I play a Youtube stream the audio stutters, then stops working. If I turn off my TV and back on, and start playing some local content within a minute or two the audio is fine. If I can't figure it out I'll create my own support thread, since my problem is seemingly unrelated to this setup.

Thanks for the help though! I learned a little about audio setup.
