</div>This may be what's happening looking at the code, this function is<br>
responsible for creating the /tmp/pulse-user folder:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.pulseaudio.org/browser/tags/release-0.9.10/src/pulsecore/core-util.c#L176" target="_blank">http://www.pulseaudio.org/browser/tags/release-0.9.10/src/pulsecore/core-util.c#L176</a><br>
<br>
<br>
And this check:<br>
<a href="http://www.pulseaudio.org/browser/tags/release-0.9.10/src/pulsecore/core-util.c#L215" target="_blank">http://www.pulseaudio.org/browser/tags/release-0.9.10/src/pulsecore/core-util.c#L215</a><br>
will return an EACCESS (permission denied I believe) error if it is not<br>
created in a secure manner.<br>
<br>
Try hacking that check to in your compilation to see if it works for you.<br>
<br>
I guess the code should check not for a Win32 OS but rather a filesystem<br>
that does not support owners/groups/perms, but that's no doubt a bit<br>
trickier!<br>
<br>
Hope this is the problem.<br>
