Hi Lennart, Working on Solaris/Sparc, i intend to use PA as realtime renderer for Csound, which as you know can either produce .wav output files or, what is here more interesting, a direct output to PA. The problem is that i get really a communication between both softs, but the flux stops immediately after the beginn. Here is my PA output after i just lauched it : bash-3.00# /usr/local/bin/64/pulseaudio/pulseaudio --log-level=debug W: This program is not intended to be run as root (unless --system is specified). I: device opened in O_RDWR mode. I: created 0 "solaris_input" with sample spec "s16be 2ch 44100Hz" I: created 0 "solaris_output" with sample spec "s16be 2ch 44100Hz" I: created 1 "solaris_output.monitor" with sample spec "s16be 2ch 44100Hz" I: Loaded "module-solaris" (index: #0; argument: "device=/dev/audio"). I: loaded 1 modules. I: Loaded "module-detect" (index: #1; argument: ""). I: Loaded "module-esound-protocol-unix" (index: #2; argument: ""). I: loading cookie from disk. I: Loaded "module-native-protocol-unix" (index: #3; argument: ""). I: starting with empty ruleset. I: Loaded "module-volume-restore" (index: #4; argument: ""). I: Loaded "module-rescue-streams" (index: #5; argument: ""). I: Loaded "module-gconf" (index: #6; argument: ""). I: Daemon startup complete. I: Unloading "module-detect" (index: #1). I: Unloaded "module-detect" (index: #1). Now the Pulseaudio server is initialized, i launch on my Csound console : bash-3.00# ./csound -+rtaudio=pulse -o dac examples/xanadu.csd Here the Pulseaudio output : I: created 0 "Native client (UNIX socket client)" I: client 0 changed name from "Native client (UNIX socket client)" to "csound" I: created 0 "csound-out" on solaris_output with sample spec float32le 2ch 44100Hz D: Memory block too large for pool: 1048576 > 16368 D: memblockq requested: maxlength=264600, tlength=176400, base=8, prebuf=174636, minreq=1764 D: memblockq sanitized: maxlength=264600, tlength=176400, base=8, prebuf=174640, minreq=1760 I: Creating new entry for <pulsecore/protocol-native.c$csound> At this point both stops. I made several tries : 1) Paplay works fine fore any .wav file, including produced by Csound ; 2) I can run successfully Paplay at any time, including simultaneously with here my client 0 locked up ; 3) This lock up isn't a crash for both softs, i can without problem stop my Csound request and relaunch it as i want. I learned the problem currently in november with Colin, which thinks maybe you can have more lights about. I tried also to change several things in the three /etc/pulse, that gave nothing, but maybe however here can be the interessant way ? Cheers, Sergio
