As mentioned earlier I am testing pulseaudio for Intrepid from this PPA: http://launchpad.net/~themuso/+archive I am not able to share my sound card with paprefs, is that a known problem or is it related to the version of this PPA? I would also like to know, how to figure out if the glitch-free feature is aktiv. This is how it looks when I start pulseaudio 0.9.11. Real-time scheduling is enabled but I am not sure what this line is about "D: main.c: Can realtime: no, can high-priority: no" Does that mean that the glitch-free feature is disabled? $ pulseaudio --start -vvv D: main.c: Started as real root: no, suid root: yes I: main.c: We're in the group 'pulse-rt', allowing high-priority scheduling. I: main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_NICE, (31, 31)) failed: Operation not permitted I: main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_RTPRIO, (9, 9)) failed: Operation not permitted I: core-util.c: Successfully gained nice level -11. I: main.c: Giving up CAP_NICE D: main.c: Can realtime: no, can high-priority: no W: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to find original dlopen loader. I: main.c: Daemon startup successful. Regards Achim
