<pre>To start with, this bug only happens when I load module-x11-bell.
I'm starting pulseaudio immediately so that it can handle X11 bell events
immediately. When socket activation is on, though, pulseaudio fails to start.
These are the first few error messages:
Nov 25 10:54:28 lazarus slim[433]: E: [pulseaudio] socket-server.c: bind():
Address already in use
Nov 25 10:54:28 lazarus slim[433]: E: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load
module "module-native-protocol-unix" (argument: ""): initialization failed.
Nov 25 10:54:28 lazarus slim[433]: E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Module load failed.
Nov 25 10:54:28 lazarus systemd[471]: Starting Sound Service...
Nov 25 10:54:28 lazarus slim[433]: E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to initialize
daemon.
This happens with slim and with startx. Delaying pulseaudio's start by about 2
seconds resolves the race condition for both. Disabling socket activation also
resolves the race condition:
mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user
systemctl --user mask pulseaudio.socket
I'll come back with the -vvvvv output.</pre>
