Hi I could not check the pulseaudio dependency for gws, as libsndfile does not have it.
I have had pulseaudio for a year or so, and it was fine. I used it mainly because VirtualBox depended on it to emulate a sound car on its virtual machines. Then something broke, and I could not get any sound out of the speakers, just the first app get the device, and no other after that. Then, after Dale asked me why did I need pulseaudio, I saw that VirtualBox now is able to handle plain and simple ALSA, then I removed all pulseaudio related things that I could find, rebuilt the kernel with alsa built-in and everything I need is back making noises ;-) Francisco On Sat, Dec 10, 2011 at 2:25 PM, <meino.cra...@gmx.de> wrote: > > Hi, > > sorry for the nebelous subject... > > The following happened to me. > I have installed/configured pulseaudio according to this > for a one-person desktop gentoo-system: > http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/PulseAudio > > When starting gwc (which is not in portage) and playing > sounds, it works...once... > > After a while I here the same clicking sound, which happens > while booting the system and alsa takes over...and thats it. > I have to kill gwc. > > On the console gwc prints: > > Current stack limit: 8388608 bytes > libsndfile Version: libsndfile-1.0.25 1 0 25 > socket(): Address family not supported by protocol > Closing the Pulse audio device > > The last line appears when I press "stop audio playback", the clicking > happes a few seconds later. > > After that...no go. > > I have appended /etc/pulse/default.pa at the end of this posting. > > Interestingly it is possible to successfully restart gwc. > > What can I do to fix this? > > Best regards, > mcc > > > > > #!/usr/bin/pulseaudio -nF > # > # This file is part of PulseAudio. > # > # PulseAudio is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it > # under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by > # the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or > # (at your option) any later version. > # > # PulseAudio is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but > # WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of > # MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
