Hi, for one of my purpose, I have to stop the pulseaudio process started with my gnome-session and started a new pulseaudio process as different user then the current gnome-session user using below commandline, (both users have autospawn=no, daemon-binary=/bin/true in their respective .config/pulse/client.conf) pulseaudio --start --daemonize --log-target=file:pulseaudio.log --log-level=debug --log-meta --log-time Then I waited for 10mins, the new pulseaudio process still present. I started playing a gst pipeline, even though I didn't hear any sound, the pipeline was playing without any issue and finished properly. After few seconds, I played the same gst pipeline again, this time it showed some error "Internal streaming error". When I looked into gst debug logs, pulsesink0 says "connection refused", then I checked pulse process. it was gone. The log says, ( 593.952| 15.009) I: [pulseaudio][pulsecore/core.c:223 exit_callback()] We are idle, quitting... ( 593.952| 0.000) I: [pulseaudio][daemon/main.c:1148 main()] Daemon shutdown initiated. I'm not sure why pulseaudio goes down itself after a playback. Is it a bug? or am I doing something wrong? Thanks, Mohan R
