--- Begin Message ---Package: pulseaudio Version: 0.9.13-2 Severity: important (this refers to the version of pulseaudio in experimental) The script /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11 is designed to start PulseAudio under an X session, and is invoked with an xdg startup item among other things. This, sadly, doesn't actually work as desired: The script starts the pulseaudio server with 'pulseaudio --start', then checks if $DISPLAY is set. When it is the following is invoked: /usr/bin/pactl load-module module-x11-publish "display=$DISPLAY" Unfortunately, pactl cannot locate the pulseaudio server: it tries /tmp/pulse-daniel and the system-wide instance, but not the ~/.pulse/<hostid>:runtime link. This means that the x11 publishing module is not loaded successfully, which the script ignores. The same is true of the X session manager item that is loaded next. I was able to address this by editing /etc/pulse/default.pa to set the following: .nofail load-module module-x11-xsmp load-module module-x11-publish .fail That unconditionally tries to load the relevant modules, which fixes the problem: pulseaudio --start now loads module-x11-publish module-x11-publish adds properties to the X root window with the hostid server address pactl uses those properties to issue the command to the server I don't know if the fault like in pactl (which, frankly, I think it does) or in the system configuration, but either way it doesn't work correctly at present, resulting in the script failing to register as an X11 PulseAudio server correctly.

Afaik this is fixed, closing the bug. If it still happens in current pulseaudio versions then please re-open. Sjoerd -- "There are three principal ways to lose money: wine, women, and engineers.
