Hello, I recently had to investigate quite a bit why PulseAudio started to abort on my computer, and finally figured out the reason : - I had "module-load module-raop-discover" set in /etc/pulse/default.pa - I fiddled with `paprefs` while PA was running and checked "Make discoverable Apple AirTunes sound devices available locally" - This triggered a load of module-raop-discover via module-gconf, which failed silently because the module was already loaded: D: [pulseaudio] module-gconf.c: Loading module 'module-raop-discover' with args '' due to GConf configuration. E: [pulseaudio] module.c: Module "module-raop-discover" should be loaded once at most. Refusing to load. E: [pulseaudio] module-gconf.c: pa_module_load() failed - At the next reboot, module-raop-discover was loaded via module-gconf, then cli-command tried to load it again, failed and PulseAudio exited. The attached patch fixes it by adding an optional error code pointer to pa_module_load(), and checking for the error code in cli-command. I don't know if this is an acceptable solution for the PulseAudio team, I'm not even sure that's a case you want to handle, but I thought it would be worth it to mention this problem to you, gather your input on the subject and come up with an idea to handle it.
