[gentoo-user] Can't get PulseAudio to work
I decided to test PulseAudio on Gentoo since someone claimed the reason PulseAudio has a it blows chunks reputation because of Ubuntu shipping it with a broken configuration. So, I did: USE=alsa pulseaudio -oss emerge -auDNl --with-bdeps=y world This installed PulseAudio and rebuilt all applications to drop OSS support and use ALSA or Pulse instead. I also took a look at this: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/PulseAudio and did the usermod -a -G plugdev pulse thing. I rebooted with an ALSA-enabled kernel and with OSSv4 completely removed. But it doesn't work; everything can use ALSA OK, but not PA. For example, mplayer -ao pulse video.mkv says: socket(): Address family not supported by protocol What now?
