Hi, Just cataloguing my issues so we don't forget.... 1. It seems that when running pulseaudio -k, that the daemon terminates pretty brutally... I'm not yet sure if the daemon dies horribly or just doesn't unload the modules properly. Due to this, the X11 properties on the root window are left over (because they were inserted by module-x11-publish). Due to this, the daemon will not autospawn or be started properly. This indicates two separate problems: a) The module shutdown process is not quite working right. b) The code that detects whether the connection params (in the left over x11 props) are meant to be local (which indicates a crash) so that autospawn or manual startup will proceed successfully. 2. Startup is no longer atomic: With PA not running and autospawn disabled: [colin at jimmy ~]$ start-pulseaudio-x11 Connection failure: Connection refused pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused PA does actually start but it's the pactl load-module's that cause this connection refused error. This means that pulseaudio --start returns before the daemon is ready for connections. This may also be something that is affecting the stable-queue (as I have heard of some startup races but never been able to reproduce). Need to do some more testing :) (and fixing). -- Colin Guthrie gmane(at)colin.guthr.ie http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited [http://www.tribalogic.net/] Open Source: Mageia Contributor [http://www.mageia.org/] PulseAudio Hacker [http://www.pulseaudio.org/] Trac Hacker [http://trac.edgewall.org/]
