Package: pavucontrol
Version: 1.0-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I just installed pavucontrol. Using Xfce and choosing rodent ->
Multimedia -> PulseAudio Volume Control, I get a pop-up:
Volume Control
Connection to PulseAudio failed. Automatic retry in 5s
In this case this is likely because PULSE_SERVER in the Environment/X11 Root
Windows Properties
or default-server in client.conf is misconfigured.
This situation can also arrise when PulseAudio crashed and left stale details
in the X11 Root Window.
If this is the case, then PulseAudio should autospawn again, or if this not
configured you should
run start-pulseaudio-x11 manually.
I have not modified /etc/pulse/client.conf:
# egrep -v '^(#|$)' /etc/pulse/client.conf
; default-sink =
; default-source =
; default-server =
; default-dbus-server =
; autospawn = yes
; daemon-binary = /usr/bin/pulseaudio
; extra-arguments = --log-target=syslog
; cookie-file =
; enable-shm = yes
; shm-size-bytes = 0 # setting this 0 will use the system-default, usually 64
MiB
; auto-connect-localhost = no
; auto-connect-display = no
I am unable to locate start-pulseaudio-x11:
# /etc/cron.daily/mlocate
# locate start-pulseaudio-x11
Please advise.
TIA,
David

The problem is that you do not have pulseaudio installed. Pavucontrol
in Wheezy is missing the Recommends on pulseaudio, which is why you
did not get it installed automatically (this has been fixed since in
the testing distribution).
Please install pulseaudio and then pavucontrol should work.
