[pulseaudio-discuss] pulseaudio error message

[Colin Guthrie]

'Twas brillig, and Patrick Shirkey at 07/08/09 10:55 did gyre and gimble:
> I have Fedora 11 64 bit with a dev version of pulse. I have both the 32 
> and 64 bit version of the alsa-plugins-pulseaudio library but skype and

OK, so my guess was correct :)

Problem is this:

On 64 bit apps:

Alsa loads the pulse plugin -> Pulse Plugin uses libpulse (from your git 
build) and successfully finds and connects to the pulseaudio daemon.

On 32 bit apps:

Alsa loads the pulse plugin -> Pulse Plugin uses libpulse (from your 
*system* version -e.g. mismatched from your server) and cannot find or 
connect to the pulseaudio daemon.


You need to make sure your 32bit libpulse matches the 64bit version.
