Strange that there are no 32 bit modules.

Why did you expect them?
We only ship 32bit versions of libraries 32bit apps might link
to. However The PA server itself (and hence its modules) is only
available in the native word with of your CPU, i.e. 64bit.


Cool. Thanks for clarifying.


If I am running the 64 bit version of the Daemon and it is connected to jack will the 32 bit libs allow me to run a 32 bit app and connect to the 64 bit Daemon?

Yes, that's the idea.

Will the 0.9.15 32 bit packages above be compatible with 0.9.16 64
bit?

I try to keep compatibility in the protocol between versions. However
there is not test suite to verify this. Also, while I am quite sure
compat of the protocol for pure socket clients should work well, this
might not be the case for local clients. It is expected that for local
clients you update all or nothing.


So, it's worth a shot to install them and test. Will do that now.

It's worth noting (as I alluded to earlier) that the 0.9.15 and the 0.9.16 have a *known* incompatibility with regards to how they look for the socket path to communicate with the pulseaudio daemon.

If you run start-pulseaudio-x11 and get some results when doing:
xprop -root| grep PULSE_SERVER

then this should be enough to work around this incompatibility (although I've not tested this).
