Hello everyone, I am using the pulse audio simple API in a C program and I am getting the following error message when using the "pa_simple_new" function: 28 simple = pa_simple_new(NULL, "Audio Playback", PA_STREAM_PLAYBACK, NULL, "playback", &ss, NULL, NULL, &pa_error); (gdb) [New Thread 0x7ffff34416c0 (LWP 3517)] Failed to load cookie file from cookie: Not a directory The audio file that I am playing in the later part of the program is still being played correctly. But how do I suppress (or solve) this error message? I tried setting the environment variable PULSE_COOKIE like this: export PULSE_COOKIE="~/.config/pulse/cookie" But it did not help. (this "cookie" file exists) The return value of the pa_simple_new function is not NULL: (gdb) p simple $1 = (pa_simple *) 0x5555555592d0 And the pa_error integer that I am trying to get an error code with stays at 0. Can someone please help me to debug this issue? Thank you and regards Björn
