But it doesn't work; everything can use ALSA OK, but not PA. For example, "mplayer -ao pulse video.mkv" says: socket(): Address family not supported by protocol What now? Have you started the PulseAudio daemon? There is none: ls /etc/init.d/*pulse* ls: cannot access /etc/init.d/*pulse*: No such file or directory but it seems to start on its own, and in any case I solved that issue as I wrote in my other post.
