This appears to be some sort of permission issue. If I run pulseaudio as root then everything works as expected. Running it under my user account somehow prevents pulseaudio from seeing any of the sound cards. I did have my user account in the "audio" group. I've since removed it after reading some documentation, rebooted, and still no sound cards detected by pulseaudio. Using strace, I don't see pulseaudio failing to open any files or even trying to access /dev/snd/*. I do see several errors coming from setrlimit though. What's the next step in debugging this? -- Peter Jones, Founder, Devalot.com Defending the honor of good code _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
