Public bug reported:
I have two desktops, Unity and KDE, in KDE pulseaudio starts without
problems, but when I end session in KDE and begin it with Unity, then
pulseaudio fails to start, I have sound in KDE even in lightdm, but not
in Unity, this lack of sound makes Unity experience to suck at all.
Why pulseaudio cannot start when I log on with Unity?
When I try to start it manually it just drops this message:
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Falló el inicio del demonio.
The same message when I logon:
Jan 26 00:33:00 64-desktop pulseaudio[25578]: [pulseaudio]
module-udev-detect.c: inotify_init1() failed: Demasiados archivos abiertos
Jan 26 00:33:00 64-desktop pulseaudio[25578]: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to
load module "module-udev-detect" (argument: ""): initialization failed.
Jan 26 00:33:00 64-desktop pulseaudio[25578]: [pulseaudio] main.c: Module load
failed.
Jan 26 00:33:00 64-desktop pulseaudio[25578]: [pulseaudio] main.c: Fallo al
intentar iniciar el demonio.
Jan 26 00:33:00 64-desktop pulseaudio[25575]: [pulseaudio] main.c: Falló el
inicio del demonio.
If the problem is with udev, why it fails with Unity, and not in KDE?.
I actually have sound, but not trough pulseaudio; the speaker icon in
the system tray shows disabled and I don't have login sound, I know it
is disabled by default, I enabled it, so I expect to hear login sound
and have pulseaudio working.
I noticed this problem with pulseaudio since an upgrade that the system made
automatically on January 18, these packages:
Start-Date: 2013-01-18 10:24:02
Install: linux-headers-3.2.0-36:amd64 (3.2.0-36.57, automatic),

linux-headers-3.2.0-36-generic:amd64 (3.2.0-36.57, automatic)
Upgrade: linux-generic:amd64 (3.2.0.35.40, 3.2.0.36.43), x11proto-gl-dev:amd64

3.2.0.36.43), linux-image-generic:amd64 (3.2.0.35.40, 3.2.0.36.43),

(2.6-2, 2.8-1~precise1)
End-Date: 2013-01-18 10:30:02
I personally can't find any relation of these packages with pulseaudio,
but after I installed the new kernel, pulseaudio sucks when I log on
with Unity.
