Now things are getting even crazier! If I run VLC from another
computer across the LAN I get several error messages but it *works*
with perfect audio.
I.e. as follows:-
chris$ ssh -X 192.168.0.103
[email protected]'s password:
chris@acer-aspire:~$ vlc
VLC media player 2.2.2 Weatherwax (revision 2.2.2-0-g6259d80)
[09c2fce0] pulse audio output error: PulseAudio server connection failure:
Connection refused
[09b83a28] core libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc'
to use vlc without interface.
[09c2fce0] alsa audio output error: cannot estimate delay: Broken pipe
Is VLC using alsa rather than pulsaudio and thus working OK?
