[pulseaudio-discuss] jackdbus module, pulse fails to conform on device reservation API

[Ian Malone]

Hi,

I'm trying to get a Jack DBUS setup working on Fedora 18. It seems
pulse refuses to release the audio device when it gets a dbus request
from jack:

Sat Nov  3 20:08:11 2012: Starting jack server...
Sat Nov  3 20:08:11 2012: JACK server starting in realtime mode with priority 60
Sat Nov  3 20:08:11 2012: control device hw:1
Sat Nov  3 20:08:11 2012: control device hw:1
Sat Nov  3 20:08:11 2012:  [1m [31mERROR: Failed to acquire device
name : Audio1 error : Method "RequestRelease" with signature "i" on
interface "org.freedesktop.ReserveDevice1" doesn't exist
 [0m
Sat Nov  3 20:08:11 2012:  [1m [31mERROR: Audio device hw:1 cannot be
acquired... [0m
Sat Nov  3 20:08:11 2012:  [1m [31mERROR: Cannot initialize driver [0m
Sat Nov  3 20:08:11 2012:  [1m [31mERROR: JackServer::Open() failed with -1 [0m
Sat Nov  3 20:08:11 2012:  [1m [31mERROR: Failed to open server [0m

If pulse is running but doesn't have the device then jack starts okay
and the sink/source modules get loaded. So this is just a failure in
negotiating the release.

I'm told this is a problem with pulse's implementation of the
interface. The only reference I can find is this:
http://git.0pointer.de/?p=reserve.git;a=blob_plain;f=reserve.txt

Can anyone provide any insight on this issue please?
