The PA plugin for ALSA should work for almost any app. Execpt those who violate the API brutally or make invalid assumptions. > /etc/pulse/default.pa: > > add-autoload-sink output module-alsa-sink device=dmixer sink_name=output > > add-autoload-sink output2 module-oss device=/dev/dsp record=0 > > sink_name=output2 No need for the autoload stuff here. As mentioned, just add "load-module module-alsa-sink device=dmix" instead and you should be fine. > > add-autoload-source input module-alsa-source device=hw:0 source_name=input > > load-module module-esound-protocol-unix > > load-module module-simple-protocol-unix No need to load this. > > load-module module-native-protocol-unix > > load-module module-cli-protocol-unix Np need to load this. > > set-default-sink output > > set-default-source input No need to specify this, since you only configured a single device. > > .nofail > > load-sample-lazy /usr/share/sounds/gaim/al > > gandalf:~$ pulseaudio -v > caps.c: dropping root rights. > module.c: Loaded "module-esound-protocol-unix" (index: #0; argument: ""). > module.c: Loaded "module-simple-protocol-unix" (index: #1; argument: ""). > protocol-native.c: loading cookie from disk. > module.c: Loaded "module-native-protocol-unix" (index: #2; argument: ""). > module.c: Loaded "module-cli-protocol-unix" (index: #3; argument: ""). > module.c: Loaded "module-x11-bell" (index: #4; argument: "sample=x11-bell"). > alsa-util.c: Using mixer control "PCM". > sink.c: created 0 "output" with sample spec "s16le 2ch 44100Hz" > source.c: created 0 "output.monitor" with sample spec "s16le 2ch 44100Hz" > module-alsa-sink.c: using 2 fragments of size 16384 bytes. > module.c: Loaded "module-alsa-sink" (index: #5; argument: "device=dmixer > sink_name=output"). > main.c: Daemon startup complete. > module-alsa-sink.c: *** ALSA-XRUN (playback) *** > module-alsa-sink.c: *** ALSA-XRUN (playback) *** > module-alsa-sink.c: *** ALSA-XRUN (playback) *** > (...) > > So, things work for alsa, but pulse seems unhappy.
