[pulseaudio-discuss] errors while starting pulseaudio on fedora 9

Thu Jul 17 09:36:54 PDT 2008

Hello,

I thought I got pulse working on my fedora 9 system yesterday, but this
morning I am getting a lot of errors when I try to start it.

I ran:
$ pulseaudio -vv --system

as root, and got the following messages in my log file:

Any suggestions on how to get pulse to work would be appreciated.
