[pulseaudio-discuss] 0.9.8 - Invalid value for card

[Jim Duda]

Lennart,

No go, I get:

lroom# vi /etc/pulse/default.pa
lroom# pulseaudio --system -v
I: core-util.c: Successfully gained nice level -11.
I: main.c: Found user 'pulse' (UID 499) and group 'pulse' (GID 499).
I: main.c: Successfully dropped root privileges.
W: main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_NICE, (31, 31)) failed: Operation not permitted
W: main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_RTPRIO, (9, 9)) failed: Operation not permitted
I: main.c: Page size is 4096 bytes
I: main.c: Dude, your kernel stinks! The chef's recommendation today is Linux with high-resolution timers enabled!
ALSA lib conf.c:3949:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters CARD=CMI8738MC8,DEV=0
ALSA lib pcm.c:2145:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM iec958:CARD=CMI8738MC8,DEV=0
E: alsa-util.c: Error opening PCM device iec958:CARD=CMI8738MC8,DEV=0: Invalid argument
E: module.c: Failed to load  module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: "device=iec958:CARD=CMI8738MC8,DEV=0"): initialization 
failed.
E: main.c: Module load failed.
E: main.c: failed to initialize daemon.
I: main.c: Daemon terminated.
