Hi all,
I installed pulseaudio on my Feisty test partition, the purpose of this
partition is to test a setup that will become my future standard one.
Pulseaudio works basically out of the box (ie with mplayer). Alsa works as
well using pulse as default pcm, using the following /etc/asound.conf
pcm.pulse {
type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}
I also setted up pulse in gstreamer using gstreamer-properties, so that all
my gstreamer apps like totem, rhythmbox, etc work using directly pulse.
I have only one problem left: ESD, it doesn't work neither using esdplay or
any other apps
matteo at burnt:~$ esdplay startup.wav
esdplay: pcm_params.c:2351: sndrv_pcm_hw_params: Assertion `err >= 0'
failed.

Of course I followed the pulseaudio perfect setup guide..
$ vdir /usr/bin/esd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Mar 8 14:28 /usr/bin/esd -> /usr/bin/esdcompat
$ cat /etc/pulse/default.pa | grep esound
.ifexists /usr/lib/pulse-0.9/modules/module-esound-protocol-unix.so
### Load esound protocol
load-module module-esound-protocol-unix
$ gconftool -g /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/audiosink
pulsesink
$ gconftool -g /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/audiosrc
pulsesrc
.. with no joy
Can you help me solving this? Esound works on my standard edgy partition and
works in feisty if I sound the esound package, Why isn't it working with
pulseaudio?
This also causes some apps to be really slow.. I believe they're trying to
trigger some sounds (gnome sounds of course do not work) so they are somehow
stuck because of esd broken.
Pulseaudio and esound configuration files attached.
Thanks,
Matteo
