Assembled Wisdom!
When I run pulseaudio --start , I get
E: [pulseaudio] authkey.c: Failed to truncate cookie file: Invalid argument
W: [pulseaudio] authkey.c: Failed to load authorization key '/home/alan/.config/pulse/cookie': Invalid argument
Which is not a surprise, since all I have in
~/.config/pulse/ is an empty file, cookie. Which I
created out of desperation<g>.
Background data: I am running Debian Wheezy -- a new install, on
a new machine -- and I have backported the kernel
vmlinuz-3.16-0.bpo.2-686-pae
and
pulseaudio 4.0 , also backported .
I conceive it possible that if I can get pulseaudio started, maybe
my sound will work. It worked fine on squeeze, on my old machine . .
("in a galaxy long ago and far away ")
Many thanks for any help you can give me in starting pulseaudio.
