Hi, I've been using Pulseaudio almost flawlessly for most of this year and I must say it usually works like a dream. It is truly good work. However recently I was forced to reinstall my Debian after the nvidia installer broke my system beyond my abilities to repair it. So obviously it was the first time I installed a Debian "Lenny" disc and it went flawlessly. Once installed I ran a script which downloads all the programs I use and I later compiled a custom 2.6.21 kernel with tickless system, voluntary preemption, no paravirtualization, and no nvidia frame buffer drivers. I was then able to successfully install nvidia drivers from Debian. However, now my pulseaudio sound server no longer works as I expect it to. One of the problems I am having is with Iceweasel. With the sound server on I cannot get flash sound. I have the compatibility module installed, but still nothing. I have had a perfect setup before so I do not think there is anything I am doing wrong. However, I should mention that I did have flash sound working, but the sound wasn't synchronized with the video. I used to have perfect synchronization with pulseaudio and flash videos. I do remember that my flash videos used to go out of sync when the pulseaudio daemon crashed and I would restart it from the terminal. Whenever I had to do that flash videos would be out of sync until I rebooted and pulseaudio would start automatically. Now since I have been playing with it I have broken it completely it just says "UNABLE TO CREATE STREAM". I've tried several purges or iceweasel and flash, editing the config files in /etc/pulse does nothing either. That is part of the problem. When I look at running processes pulseaudio is no longer listed like it used to be. I figured out how to get pulseaudio to start automatically by editing /etc/default/pulseaudio. Anyway, the file says /etc/default/pulseaudio isn't even the recommended way of getting pulseaudio to start automatically. And at sometimes when I don't have pulseaudio starting automatically and I try to start it automatically from a terminal it simply will not start. I do not think it is my kernel because I have had pulseaudio working on a very similar custom kernel. Sorry for the long back story but I think it was the best way of explaining my situation. I also cannot get gnome sounds working anymore but that is of a lower priority because I can live without that. What has changed in pulseaudio since February I guess that causes this.
