I suggest that you get somebody with knowledge to get a broken device permission system fixed that initially should be okay after install. Your problem is not pulseaudio, it's your audio system below that. And by attacking pulseaudio developers or me (I am a pulseaudio user and linux system administrator, no developer) you will not change that. Remember the blocked street and the car manufacturer. If you scroll back our discussion you will hopefully understand that I will now back out of this thread, as I have the feeling that this will not lead to anything. Thank you. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pulseaudio-discuss/attachments/20131202/a6710d64/attachment.html>
