Issue with pulseaudio

Hi all

After installation of pulseaudio (tazpkg -gi pulse audio on Slitaz rolling core) and reboot, I got this message in /var/log/message :

Mar 19 06:59:17 (none) user.err pulseaudio[1197]: [pulseaudio] module-alsa-card.c: Failed to find a working profile.

Has anyone succeeded to have pulseaudio working ?

Have a nice day.

Re: Issue with pulseaudio

Skype 4.3.0.37 + Pulseaudio works for me with this configuration:

/etc/pulse/daemon.conf

exit-idle-time = 0 # Exit as soon as unneeded

flat-volumes = yes # Prevent messing with the master volume

/etc/pulse/client.conf

# Applications that use PulseAudio *directly* will spawn it,

# use it, and pulse will exit itself when done because of the

# exit-idle-time setting in daemon.conf

autospawn = yes

/etc/pulse/default.pa

# Replace the *entire* content of this file with these few lines and

# read the comments

.fail

    # Set tsched=0 here if you experience glitchy playback. This will

    # revert back to interrupt-based scheduling and should fix it.

    #

    # Replace the device= part if you want pulse to use a specific device

    # such as "dmix" and "dsnoop" so it doesn't lock an hw: device.

    # INPUT/RECORD

    load-module module-alsa-source device="default" tsched=1

    # OUTPUT/PLAYBACK

    load-module module-alsa-sink device="default" tsched=1

    # Accept clients -- very important

    load-module module-native-protocol-unix

.nofail

.ifexists module-x11-publish.so

    # Publish to X11 so the clients know how to connect to Pulse. Will

    # clear itself on unload.

    load-module module-x11-publish

.endif

Re: Issue with pulseaudio

Thanks a lot mojo, pulseaudio now starts without complaint ; for Skype 4.3.0.37  I guess my processor is to old (AMD Athlon(TM) XP 1500+) ; I'll have to change my computer.

Have a very nice day. Thanks again.
