My overall goal is to run pulseaudio on a Linux Sunray session which has
an OSS /dev/dsp. This is kind of a complicated situation, so I am trying
to do the equivalent first on a laptop that already has pulse working.
On the laptop (Ubuntu 8.04) it works with an alsa sink.
However, I changed my default.pa to instead use
load-module module-oss device="/dev/dsp" sink_name=output source_name=input
I do hear the startup jingle /usr/share/sounds/startup3.wav on login,
but I don't know if thats coming from pulse or not. I do see a reference
to it in the "info".
Anything I then try to "paplay" hangs. I know the /dev/dsp is good
because mplayer can use it directly with "-ao oss". I can also cat au
files to the /dev/dsp successfully.
Below is what pacmd sees with "info", right after login.
Any suggestions?
