I really dont know what the problem could be... but this is what I have malcom@marugan:~/Desktop/TID/SRN$ pacmd list-modules Welcome to PulseAudio! Use "help" for usage information. >>> list-modules 20 module(s) loaded. index: 0 name: <module-hal-detect> argument: <> used: -1 auto unload: no index: 1 name: <module-esound-protocol-unix> argument: <> used: -1 auto unload: no You can see that I have to retype list-modules in order to obtain the list... It shouldn't be like that, should it??? <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Sep 21, 2009 at 5:44 PM, Colin Guthrie <<a href="mailto:gmane@colin.guthr.ie">gmane@colin.guthr.ie</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">'Twas brillig, and Alvaro Alonso Jiménez at 21/09/09 15:34 did gyre and gimble:<div class="im"> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hey everybody!!! I am trying to execute pacmd list-modules in one statement; however, when I do it, it says just Welcome to PulseAudio, and it provides me the consol, so I have to rewrite list-modules in order to obtain the modules. I really need to do it in once. However, in other computer that I have, I can do it in once!!!! And they have apparently no difference one from another... </blockquote> </div> "pacmd list-modules" works fine here so don't know what's up with your setup... maybe an old version? You can also use "pactl list" which will include the modules plus a whole lot of other stuff in it's output. pactl uses the pulse protocol like any other client (i.e. connection to PULSE_SERVER env var etc. rather than just the local PA daemon) and it doesn't rely on module-protocol-cli which pacmd requires. So if it's a general purpose thing you're doing, I'd use pactl instead (even if you have to filter out the crud).
