Hi, I'm having a problem with pulseaudio where I have to restart it before I can play any music whatsoever. If I list the sinks, my single sink comes up as suspended. My system is relatively fresh install of Wheezy, with pulseaudio running in as my user.
My default.pa is: .nofail ### Load something into the sample cache #load-sample-lazy x11-bell /usr/share/sounds/gtk-events/activate.wav #load-sample-lazy pulse-hotplug /usr/share/sounds/startup3.wav #load-sample-lazy pulse-coldplug /usr/share/sounds/startup3.wav #load-sample-lazy pulse-access /usr/share/sounds/generic.wav .fail ### Automatically restore the volume of streams and devices load-module module-device-restore load-module module-stream-restore load-module module-card-restore ### Automatically augment property information from .desktop files ### stored in /usr/share/application load-module module-augment-properties ### Load audio drivers statically ### (it's probably better to not load these drivers manually, but instead ### use module-udev-detect -- see below -- for doing this automatically) #load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,1 #load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:1,0 #load-module module-oss device="/dev/dsp" sink_name=output source_name=input #load-module module-oss-mmap device="/dev/dsp" sink_name=output source_name=input #load-module module-null-sink #load-module module-pipe-sink ### Automatically load driver modules depending on the hardware available .ifexists module-udev-detect.so load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0 .else ### Use the static hardware detection module (for systems that lack udev/hal support) load-module module-detect .endif ### Automatically connect sink and source if JACK server is present .ifexists module-jackdbus-detect.so .nofail load-module module-jackdbus-detect .fail .endif ### Automatically load driver modules for Bluetooth hardware .ifexists module-bluetooth-discover.so load-module module-bluetooth-discover .endif ### Load several protocols .ifexists module-esound-protocol-unix.so load-module module-esound-protocol-unix .endif load-module module-native-protocol-unix ### Network access (may be configured with paprefs, so leave this commented ### here if you plan to use paprefs) #load-module module-esound-protocol-tcp #load-module module-native-protocol-tcp #load-module module-zeroconf-publish load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=127.0.0.1 ### Load the RTP receiver module (also configured via paprefs, see above) #load-module module-rtp-recv ### Load the RTP sender module (also configured via paprefs, see above) #load-module module-null-sink sink_name=rtp format=s16be channels=2 rate=44100 sink_properties="device.description='RTP Multicast Sink'" #load-module module-rtp-send source=rtp.monitor ### Load additional modules from GConf settings.
