[pulseaudio-discuss] Help in setting up PA... SOLVED

ok...

1) The/var/log/messages indicates that you are running the pa server as 
root (you say as well) and it also says the pa server is not intended to 
be run as root... so you might want to change to a regular user and use 
sudo for root related activities.

2) I think that the terjeta 3 requires some special parameters ... 
similar to tarjeta 2.  I'm not familiar with ice1724 device driver, but 
you may want to try the same setup for tarjeta 3 as for tarjeta 2.  This 
is just a guess... anyone with knowledge about how to setup an ice1724 
source/sink in pa... please speak up now...

3) Of course, it looks like tarjeta 3 was identified by the 
module-detect/module-hal-detect.  What we've done is disable this and 
tried to set the sources/sinks manually.  
module-detect/module-hal-detect seems to be an all or nothing 
proposition...  if anyone knows of a way to auto-detect specific devices 
and manually set others in the same config file... please speak up now.  

Well, you might want to try this (once again, a guess):

    a) re-enable the auto-detect  - we know this will detect tarjeta 0 
and 3, and not tarjeta 1 and 2
    b) add only the manual configuration for tarjeta 2, after that


So your default.pa file would contain:

### Automatically load driver modules depending on the hardware available
.ifexists module-hal-detect.so
load-module module-hal-detect
.else
### Alternatively use the static hardware detection module (for systems that
### lack HAL support)
load-module module-detect
.endif
 
# Load the devices:
#load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name=nvidia_out device=hw:0
#load-module module-alsa-source source_name=nvidia_in device=hw:0
 
#load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name=hdmi_out device=hw:1
#load-module module-alsa-source source_name=hdmi_in device=hw:1
 
load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name=ewx2496_out device=hw:2 
channels=10 channel_map=left,right,aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5,aux6,aux7
load-module module-alsa-source source_name=ewx2496_in device=hw:2 
channels=12 
channel_map=left,right,aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5,aux6,aux7,aux8,aux9
 
#load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name=e192m_out device=hw:3
#load-module module-alsa-source source_name=e192m_in device=hw:3
 
# Select default device
#set-default-sink nvidia_out
#set-default-source nvidia_in

Let's see if module-hal-detect/module-detect allows manual loading of 
sources/sinks.
