This means your pulseaudio client (paman in this case) cannot speak to the pulseaudio daemon. Chances are the daemon is not running (ps aux | grep pulse). You can generally debug why it's not running by manually issuing "pulseaudio -vvv" and looking at the errors returned. You can have a look through the: http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/Troubleshooting page but I've not updated it for a while and it's missing loads of common stuff that could go wrong. I meant to get it updated over the past weekend but sadly spent the time doing other stuff :s Col -- Colin Guthrie gmane(at)colin.guthr.ie http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited [http://www.tribalogic.net/] Open Source: Mandriva Linux Contributor [http://www.mandriva.com/] PulseAudio Hacker [http://www.pulseaudio.org/] Trac Hacker [http://trac.edgewall.org/]
