Re: Service/user not using PulseAudio

Thanks Chris. I've tried running:

sudo -H -u asterisk bash -c 'unset DISPLAY ; /usr/bin/pulseaudio -vvvvv --daemonize=no --start'

and after killing off the pulseaudio process:

sudo -H -u asterisk bash -c 'unset DISPLAY ; /usr/bin/pulseaudio -vvvvv --daemonize=yes --start'

But neither get the audio working correctly. The verbose output of the instances are as follows:

D: [pulseaudio] conf-parser.c: Parsing configuration file '/etc/pulse/client.conf' D: [pulseaudio] conf-parser.c: /etc/pulse/client.conf.d does not exist, ignoring.
I: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup successful.

If i kill off pulseaudio with 'pulseaudio -k" as user iain and start pulsaudio in the same way (rather than having it start automatically when using aplay), the output is the same and the audio continues to work correctly.

I'm still not sure if /var/lib/asterisk/.config/pulse is being used

Perhaps there is no pulse instance running for user asterisk.  When you
used aplay from your user account it would have played through a pulse
instance running as your user, the asterisk user account would not have
access to that instance.  You need to start pulse as user asterisk.
Watch out for details on how to start, for example the man page has a note
about starting from systemd services:

       --start
             Start PulseAudio if it is not running yet. This is different from
             starting PulseAudio without --start which would fail if PA is
already
             running. PulseAudio is guaranteed to be fully initialized when
this
             call returns. Implies --daemonize.

        -D | --daemonize[=BOOL]
             Daemonize after startup, i.e. detach from the terminal. Note that
             when running as a  systemd  service you should use
             --daemonize=no for systemd notification to work.
