Comment(by knightk):

 I'll work on a patch for compatibility for r/o $HOME.

 PACAT's stream_read_callback() not called
 -----------------------------------------
 I have successfully used arecord to capture audio on my ARMv6 target so I
 know my hardware is good. When I attempt to use pacat -r -v I do not see
 any calls to stream_read_callback(pa_stream *s, size_t length, void
 *userdata)! Connection is established and the stream successfully created,
 also the time_event_callback is called repeatedly.

 On my laptop I don't even need a module-alsa-source loaded to get
 stream_read_callback() to get called repeatedly. It is sufficient for me
 to launch pulseaudio, load modules module-native-protocol-unix and module-
 alsa-sink (would'nt work without the sink!).. then pacat -r -v

 paplay "Failed to open file STDIN"
 ---------------------------------
 The other issue is that when attempting to pipe anything to paplay on my
 target I get a 'Failed to open file STDIN'. Why paplay can't accept chars
 from another app is another puzzle. E.g. madplay -o wave:- file.mp3 |
 paplay produces a STDIN issue. madplay -o wave:- file.mp3 fills the screen
 with lots of chars... so I know madplay is OK.

 Any hints would be very welcome. Thanks
