I've recently upgraded from 0.9.6 to 0.9.8. I used to be able to use pactl -s <server> list, or pactl list, to see the status of the server. Now, with 0.9.8, pactl just sits there, and eventually reports "timeout". Example: linux# pactl list Connection failure: Timeout linux# pactl --version pactl 0.9.8 Compiled with libpulse 0.9.8 Linked with libpulse 0.9.8 Which module does pactl attach to? Is auth-anonymous=1 sufficient? The server default.pa has: load-module module-hal-detect load-module module-native-protocol-unix auth-anonymous=1 load-module module-cli-protocol-tcp load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-anonymous=1 load-module module-http-protocol-tcp load-module module-zeroconf-publish load-module module-null-sink sink_name=sphinx_record description="Sphinx Recording Source" load-module module-null-sink sink_name=sphinx_playback description="Sphinx Playback Source" load-module module-combine sink_name=misterhouse resample_method="src-sinc-best-quality" master=alsa_output.pci_1274_5880_alsa_playback_0 slaves=alsa_output.pci_8086_24d5_alsa_playback_0 load-module module-volume-restore load-module module-rescue-streams Jim
