That message is not really important. PA tries to find the right mixer device for a PCM stream. ALSA has not real API for that. So we try a few things, which unfortuncately results in a bit of debug messages by alsa-lib. > $ sudo /usr/bin/pulseaudio -vvvv --daemonize=false -vvvvv?

And now you are trying to load another module for audio device 0? You shouldn't have both hal-detect and module-alsa-sink in your startup script. That usually makes no sense, unless you really know what you are doing. > At that point the daemon is running, accepts connections, but > produces no sound. Eventualy I send it SIGINT and it closes. Have you set all volume sliders correctly and unmuted all controls? "alsamixer -c0"? pavucontrol? Are you sure your stream is connected to the right device?
