Cannot use pulseaudio as audio sink? anything wrong here?
Last modified: 2018-04-11 06:09:52 EDT
Description of problem: I installed pulseaudio and have adjusted gstreamer-properties to use it. Rhythmbox cannot play any files now. Kill pulseaudio, then rhythmbox could play well. But as pulseaudio starts with gnome login, and rhythmbox uses gstreamer, there should be something wrong with rhythmbox. (I can use Exaile from FE to play the same tracks. Exaile uses gstreamer too, and PulseAudio manager also detects gstreamer client.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.9.7-11.fc7 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. install pulseaudio, adjust gstreamer-properties to use pulseaudio sink 2. play anything in rhythmbox 3. Actual results: immediately stops Expected results: playing as normal Additional info:
Moving to 'devel' as discussed on https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-March/msg00095.html.
I can't even play anything with Pulseaudio itself, so I won't be of much help. Reassigning to the GStreamer Pulseaudio plugin, so that we can get some debug info for the problem.
Please post the output of "pactl list" here, and what rhythmbox writes to STDERR when this problem happens.
Works now. Run pacmd "list-clients" can find rhythmbox/gstreamer, and sound is OK. Please close, thank you! [yuan@mstar ~]$ pactl list |grep rhythmbox Name: gstreamer[rhythmbox]
