The groups should be irrelevant unless you are running in System Wide mode (which I suspect you are not - it's certainly not the recommended or default way on Fedora). This happens when the libpulse client cannot connect to the server you are running. Simple tests are using: paplay /usr/share/sounds/startup3.wav aplay /usr/share/sounds/startup3.wav This tests a native client and an alsa client using the alsa libraries. What I suspect is happening here is that you are running a 64 bit system and that the above two commands will work fine. However, the 32 bit libpulse that is installed on your system is looking for a different location to communicate with pulseaudio server (this *has* changed between 0.9.15 and 0.9.16). It should just be a matter of building a 32 bit version of libpulse to go with your git master version. If I'm wrong with the assumptions please let us know :) > Please cc me on the response.
