Antony. Preparation should not be an after-thought. The Release Notes are included at the source of the isos: http://files.devuan.org/devuan_beowulf/ and all the mirrors would have identical content. In addition, the Release Notes as well as installation instructions are included on the isos using the Debian installer. I know because I picked the short straw to prepare that documentation. golinux ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

However, I think the proper fix, as pointed out by Ken, is to edit /etc/pulse/client.conf.d/00-disable-autospawn.conf and comment out the "autospawn=no" line. This is the solution that I'm currently using on all my Devuan Beowulf systems without encountering any issues. I wonder why Devuan isn't distributing a patched version of pulseaudio that has this configured correctly by default?
