Okay, on someone's recommendation, I removed the existing version of pulseaudio (2, I think) and compiled a fresh one (5.99.3). Pulse seems to attempt to use the hifiberry, but I still get the following error: I: [alsa-sink-HiFiBerry DAC+ HiFi pcm512x-hifi-0] alsa-sink.c: Starting playback. I: [alsa-sink-HiFiBerry DAC+ HiFi pcm512x-hifi-0] (alsa-lib)pcm_hw.c: SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_START failed (-77) What exactly does this mean? Sorry for the newbie questions.
