[pulseaudio-discuss] pulseaudio 8.99.2 compiled from sources doesn't work

[Marco Trapanese]

Hello,
I compiled pulseaudio in this way in Debian Jessie Lite for RPi3:

> wget 
> http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pulseaudio/releases/pulseaudio-8.99.2.tar.xz
> ./configure --disable-bluez4 --disable-bluez5-native-headset 
> --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
> make
> make install

without changing anything in the configuration files. When I launch 
pulseaudio it returns this error:


> |[pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup without any loaded modules, 
> refusing to work.|

here a more verbose output:

> I: [pulseaudio] main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_NICE, (31, 31)) failed: 
> Operazione non permessa

ls /usr/lib/pulse-8.99/modules shows the modules are there...

Perhaps is changed something in the latest version?
