Hello.
I'm trying to use pulseaudio because alsa's softvol plugin doesn't work
(it's a plugin that lets each app sets its output volume).
I'm on Slackware 13.0.
I downloaded, compiled and installed the pulseaudio tgz (0.9.21).
I read the man page, and the PerfectSetup wiki page, but didn't understand
much of what I had to do to get it working.
I created three groups, pulse, pulse-rt and pulse-access, and put myself in
these three groups.
I also created a user pulse.
The daemon is not
I put in my .asoundrc
pcm.pulse {
type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}
but trying aplay gives
$ aplay -Dpulse .1.wav
ALSA lib pulse.c:229:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect:
Connection refused
aplay: main:590: audio open error: Connection refused
so tried to start the binary:
$ pulseaudio

instead of module-detect!

I also tried as root:

is specified).

What do I do now?
Thanks.
