Well as the log message states, it means you cannot use timer based scheduling. This means you will rely on the older interrupt driven model and thus will not get the power savings that the timer based approach can offer you if the apps behave sensibly. You should speak to some kernel guys to get it enabled. > I also experienced a strange behaviour. When invoking two gst launches > with pulsesink, pulseaudio server shutdown. So this will be in non-tsched mode. Can you provide logs and (if PA actually crashes rather than just shuts down) a backtrace?
