I can start it from xsession -- but it doesn't work. I can't play audio from anything within the X session, but if I kill the X session I can do a "pulseaudio --check" and/or play audio -- and both basically work (although the sound can be cracking some of the time). BTW: it seems if pulseaudio dameon isn't started, mplayer will start it any ways when attempting to play an audio file... > Lennart > > -- > Lennart Poettering Red Hat, Inc. > lennart [at] poettering [dot] net > http://0pointer.net/lennart/ GnuPG 0x1A015CC4 > _______________________________________________ > pulseaudio-discuss mailing list > pulseaudio-discuss at mail.0pointer.de > https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss
