Dear PulseAudio folks,
I want to debug PulseAudio problems as described in [1].
Therefore I added `autospawn = no` to `~/.pulse/client.conf` and issued
`pulseaudio -k` and `pulseaudio -vvvvv`.
But after doing so all my programs are not able to connect to the
PulseAudio server(?) anymore.
Putting `autospawn = yes` to `~/.pulse/client.conf` produces the same
behavior besides with MPlayer, where it is sometimes able to connect to
the server but fails in over 90 % of the attempts doing so.
1. For example running `gstreamer-properties` which has PulseAudio
selected as output device gives an error message.
$ LANG=C gstreamer-properties
gstreamer-properties-Message: Error running pipeline 'PulseAudio Sound Server': Failed to connect: Connection refused [pulsesink.c(442): gst_pulseringbuffer_open_device (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstPulseSink:pulsesink3]
2. Also MPlayer does not work anymore with PulseAudio as output.
AO: [pulse] Init failed: Connection refused
Failed to initialize audio driver 'pulse'
Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound.
Audio: no sound
Killing PulseAudio with `autospawn = yes` and feeding for example 12
audio files into MPlayer, then maybe half of the time running `mplayer
-ao pulse *` is able to play a song at the end of the list (e. g. 9th
song) and fails for the following songs again.
Here is a excerpt from the debug messages. The whole can be found as an
attachment for the ticket I filed [2] because of the size restrictions
for attachments for this list.
