Adding the option 'socket=/tmp/.esdplug:sdmix/socket' to the<br>pulseaudio esound module line in my <a href="http://defaults.pa" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">defaults.pa</a>
fixed everything!<br><br>do the following at a commandline:<br><br> strace -o "|grep 'access.*socket'" esdplay
somefile.wav<br><br>Mine spit out this line:<br><br> access("/tmp/.esdplug:sdmix/socket", R_OK|W_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such<br> file or directory)<br><br>That's how I knew what the esd socket filename should be instead
<br>of /tmp/.esd/socket (the pulseaudio default)<br></blockquote></div><br>YES!!!! That did it!!! Thank you very much! Actually Pierre suggested the same but with less copy and paste commands :)<br><br>I had to set a different file:
<br><br>load-module module-esound-protocol-unix socket=/tmp/.esd-1000/socket
<br><br>Here you can find the output of the strace command: <a href="http://www.pastebin.ca/447035" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.pastebin.ca/447035</a>.<br><br>Now I have another question, does pointing to .esd-1000 make sense?? 1000 ss my user id, what if this comp was a multiuser machine??
<br><br>Thanks again,<br>Matteo<br>
