"strace -f pulseaudio --system > strace.out 2>&1" should give the answer. Before running that I'd check if changing a52encode:0 to just a52encode would help. The :0 part identifies the card and I think a52encode isn't associated with any specific card. Since I don't know much about the a52 plugin, I really am not sure that pulseaudio can use it at all. -- Tanu Kaskinen
