[pulseaudio-discuss] Logging startup of the first instance...

[David Henningsson]

Sometimes I have users who complain about some problem, but after a 
"pulseaudio -k" the problem is gone. Therefore asking them to restart 
pulseaudio with -vvvv switch will not give any information about the error.

  * I could log to syslog (the default), but once I enable debug level 
log, the syslog daemon can start to ratelimit, especially during the 
startup phase of pulseaudio.

  * I could log to file, but then that file would quickly get 
overwritten, as soon as pulseaudio restarts.

Is there a trick I'm missing here? Or would it be possible to add some 
kind of expansion to the log file name to make the files unique?
