Hello, I'm the guy who tried to PA -> old ESD. Well everything is fresh as a daisy PulseAudio. I still can't figure it out. You might remember the situation, "I am wanting to send sound from my Proliant application server to an old client X box." Both computers are fresh Gentoo/Pulseaudio 0.9.10. My guesses are as follows: The server /etc/pulse/default.pa is configured .nofail load-sample-lazy pulse-hotplug /usr/share/sounds/startup3.wav .fail load-module module-native-protocol-unix load-module module-native-protocol-tcp load-module module-null-sink sink_name=rtp format=s16be channels=2 rate=44100 description="RTP Multicast Sink" load-module module-rtp-send source=rtp.monitor load-module module-volume-restore load-module module-default-device-restore load-module module-rescue-streams load-module module-suspend-on-idle When I use mplayer to send sound to the pulse driver the network floods. I presume from this that sound is getting out. The client /etc/pulse/default.pa is configured: .nofail load-sample-lazy pulse-hotplug /usr/share/sounds/startup3.wav .fail load-module module-alsa-sink load-module module-native-protocol-unix load-module module-native-protocol-tcp load-module module-rtp-recv load-module module-volume-restore load-module module-default-device-restore load-module module-rescue-streams load-module module-suspend-on-idle And client /etc/pulse/client.conf default-server = tcp:application_server_name:4713 On the client, with the sound card and speakers I can mpg123 -o alsa /tmp/filename.mp3 and get sound. But, if I /etc/init.d/pulseaudio start, which starts pulseaudio as: /usr/bin/pulseaudio --log-target=syslog --disallow-module-loading=1 --fail=1 --daemonize=1 --system I get silence. Silence is not golden. Is there some documentation or something obvious, that I missed? Regards Fog_Watch. -- Lose wait. Get Gentoo.
