Hi, I wanted to discuss my experience with pulseaudio 0.9.22 is on the latest angstrom and BeagleBoard images. I noticed in images built using both OE and another assembled by Narcissus that the permissions of root directory were not set properly, so I was getting a "/root does not belong" error message. chown'ing it fixed the problem. Then, when I start in session mode (both as root and regular user) Running in a session as: pulseaudio --start -DD W: main.c: This program is not intended to be run as root (unless --system is specified). E: module-gconf.c: Unable to read or parse data from client. E: module.c: Failed to load module "module-gconf" (argument: ""): initialization failed. E: main.c: Module load failed. E: main.c: Failed to initialize daemon. Running in System mode. Loading module-udev-detect by editing /etc/system.pa, I get pulseaudio to open the sound devices and startup without problems: W: main.c: Running in system mode, but --disallow-exit not set! W: main.c: Running in system mode, but --disallow-module-loading not set! N: main.c: Running in system mode, forcibly disabling SHM mode! N: main.c: Running in system mode, forcibly disabling exit idle time! W: main.c: OK, so you are running PA in system mode. Please note that you most likely shouldn't be doing that. W: main.c: If you do it nonetheless then it's your own fault if things don't work as expected. W: main.c: Please read http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/WhatIsWrongWithSystemMode for an explanation why system mode is usually a bad idea. But, "pactl list" gives a "Connection failed: Access Denied" message. Thanks, Joel
