Package: pulseaudio Version: 0.9.8-1 Severity: important Tags: patch Hey,
the default configuration of the pulseaudio daemon requires the esound compatibility layer to start. When only the pulsaudio package is installed, the following errors are reported: Dec 16 20:35:41 katherina pulseaudio[26311]: module.c: Failed to open module "module-esound-protocol-unix": module-esound-protocol-unix.so: cannot open shared Dec 16 20:35:41 katherina pulseaudio[26311]: main.c: Module load failed. Dec 16 20:35:41 katherina pulseaudio[26311]: main.c: failed to initialize daemon. Dec 16 20:35:41 katherina pulseaudio[26310]: main.c: daemon startup failed. Removing the following line from /etc/pulse/default.pa fixes the problem. load-module module-esound-protocol-unix socket="/tmp/.esd/socket" Replacing it with the following should provide a permanent solution: .ifexists /usr/lib/pulse-0.9/modules/module-esound-protocol-unix.so load-module module-esound-protocol-unix socket="/tmp/.esd/socket" .endif I would guess that installing the pulseaudio-esound-compat would also fix the problem, but that is of course not good enough :-) Gr.
