Hmm? I don't really understand what you edited in that file and what you achieved with this? BTW: It is a feature, not a bug that PA pauses playback when you switch to a different session. > Otherwise, I hear no sound using mplayer (this is how I send a movie to an > ordinary TV). > > After testing several applications, this is what I got so far > trying to use pulseaudio with plugins (not using alsa generic plugin): > > MythTV: NO sound at all (therefore, pulse can not be a global default for > me) Yes, MythTV is borken. Not only on PA. It assumes that mmap() is available on all devices. Which is a bogus assumption. The PA plugin for ALSA cannot do mmap. And many others cannot do this either (i.e. the surround modes of EMU10K sound cards). I think they now commited a fix for this to their VCS, but I am not sure about the latest status of this, since I don't use this software myself. If you like to experiment you can use the ALSA mmap_emul plugin on top of the pulse plugin. This emulates mmap on top of a non-mmap-capable plugin for ALSA. YMMV. > audacious 1.4: OK with ESD (stutters a lot with its own pulse > plugin). Have you filed a bug to the audacious people on that? My PA plugin for XMMS works fine.

I'd assume that this one works fine with our plugin for ALSA. > Also, after an interval of time of maybe 10 to 20 min I hear a fast hiccup > using amarock.
