|
Hi!
I'm trying to make pulseaudio work on my gentoo but no way.
I don't understand, i use a SBLive with ALSA.
I emerged "media-sound/pulseaudio-0.9.8-r6" with use flags "X alsa avahi dbus hal jack oss tcpd".[/list]
I built alsa driver as module, and /etc/init.d/alsasound runs fine.
I put nothing in ~/.asoundrc
Here is backtraces:
$pulseaudio -vv

Does anyone could help me?
Thanks

I have no immediate solution, but some ideas on how to investigate. Try starting pulseaudio like this:
It will start up with no configuration, it will not read /etc/pulse/default.pa.
Then try loading modules, look up module names on pulseaudio wiki. Maybe you can try setting alsa sink to another device: try default, try hw:0,0, or something else that you got there. |

hum what the hell with pulseaudio? Maybe it comes from the libatomic_ops because of "pa_atomic_dec"? What can i do? |

I tried to downgrade and it works only with the 0.9.5 pulseaudio released. It's fine but this released is no more in the portage  |

I am using media-sound/pulseaudio-0.9.9-r1 and it works great.
It is in ~ arch. Give it a try and lets see what happens.

Unfortunately i tried and it didn't work too. I will see in posting on the pulseaudio bug tracker.
Thanks all! |

Maybe my problem comes from the fact that i use gcc3. Let's go to rebuild everything with gcc4  |

| i had the exact same error as you, but I didn't solve it by recompiling pulseaudio with gcc4. was there another component that you needed to recompile as well? |

I have exacly the same problem, pulseaudio -vvvv gives:
D: module-alsa-sink.c: Thread starting up
D: rtpoll.c: Acquired POSIX realtime signal SIGRTMIN+29
I: module-alsa-sink.c: Starting playback.
I: module.c: Loaded "module-alsa-sink" (index: #0; argument: "sink_name=output").
I: main.c: Daemon startup complete.
pulseaudio: pulsecore/fdsem.c:272: pa_fdsem_after_poll: Assertion `pa_atomic_dec(&f->waiting) >= 1' failed.
or sometimes hangs. It used to work with 0.9.5. I'm unfortunately (to this situation) using hardened gentoo (on server, not laptop) and recompiling with gcc4 is not an option. It happens only when loading alsa modules, and oss. Everything else works (but I'v not checked every possible combination). No change when changing use flags.
The sound is working well on this machine, i've not seen any errors in dmesg. |
