In short, you can either configure a static ip and therefore stop depending on dhcpd, or switch to using dhclient instead of dhcpd. I went for the latter approach in the end.
I'm not sure your experiencing the same happening as I did. I don't seem to have investigated my journalctl log, but dhcpd timing out may well have happened. I just observed my network not coming up and copied what seemed to be working for my on my other boxen.

Anyway this suffices for the actual purpose. Thanks all!

pcm.copy {
type plug
slave {
pcm hw
}
route_policy copy
}
No idea where I got that from. I've a vague recollection I added the slave section, but I'm really not too clear on what I did.
Looks like this build I got mplayer to work using my .mplayer/config file:
# Write your default config options here!
stop-xscreensaver=1
ao=pulse
nolirc=1
Stop-xscreensaver doesn't work for me, and the nolirc line is just to stop mplayer moaning about remote controls every time I start it IIRC. ao=pulse is the line you want.
Also, claws-mail seems to bing at me regardless. I guess pulseaudio support is baked in there.
If you're sure you're using pulseaudio and you're getting no sound, use 'pavucontrol' and scroll the tab bar all the way to the right to get to the 'configuration' tab where you can pick the hardware device to use. I don't know where that stores it's settings off hand, so I don't know if I used it initially to get pulse to work.
