PA is right now started trhough a compatibility script called "esd" form gnome-session. So, while gnome-session thinks it starts esd it actually starts PulseAudio. And gnome-session doesn't restart esd by default. It's more a bug in esd then in PA. > plus .. if the folder /tmp/pulse-username exist, pulseaudio refuses to > start and returns > > E: pid.c: Daemon already running. > E: main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed. If that directory has the proper access modes PA will reuse it and shouldn't fail restarting. Is it possible you have some kind of permission problem here? > but the daemon is not running so I had to delete the folder manually .. > > btw.. where does the autostart script pulseaudio daemon located??
