Hi Colin Thanks for information. we were using an old kernel which doesnt have proper udev support (something like that I come to know from our kernel team.. :( ), then I migrated to latest kernel and now module-udev-detect is built getting loaded along with other modules :-) Next.. I am trying to plug-in/out accessory headset , I guess it should reflect in pacmd list-sinks or pacmd list-sources? but I am not sure, how to view the updated list of sinks/sources after plugin/out ? also , you mention one comment on my default.pa that .. "load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,0" "OK, so here you've modified the default.pa file for your system. You shouldn't have to do this. It implies a static configuration that obviously won't work with hotplug by itself...." is this affecting ???
