To debug, create a file ~/.pulse/client.conf and put this line in it: autospawn = no that will stop PA respawning itself when you kill it. Then you can do pulseaudio -k and then run pulseaudio -vvvvv from a console, and you'll see all the pulseaudio debug output, which might help debug the issue. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
