This may be what's happening looking at the code, this function is responsible for creating the /tmp/pulse-user folder: http://www.pulseaudio.org/browser/tags/release-0.9.10/src/pulsecore/core-util.c#L176 And this check: http://www.pulseaudio.org/browser/tags/release-0.9.10/src/pulsecore/core-util.c#L215 will return an EACCESS (permission denied I believe) error if it is not created in a secure manner. Try hacking that check to in your compilation to see if it works for you. I guess the code should check not for a Win32 OS but rather a filesystem that does not support owners/groups/perms, but that's no doubt a bit trickier! Hope this is the problem. Col
