If you mean having all the clients connect (e.g. applications with libcanberra support or similar for sound events), then there are basically two ways. The first is as Luke suggests. These clients will automatically reconnect to PA if they need to (provided you have a vaguely recent libcanberra), after it is restarted and run in debug mode. Alternatively you can simply set debug-level to "debug" in daemon.conf (in /etc/pulse or ~/.pulse), and then "grep pulseaudio /var/log/messages" 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/]
