hum hum... in fact, no :-(  
this doesn't work so much (my first tests were probably not consistent)


I don't know if clients can't reach the server, or if the server rejects
connection

$ pacat
Connection failure: Connection refused
pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused


What does this means?
How may I get more detailed log messages? (from clients, from server) A
way to monitor the activity of the server?


The server is executed as follow:
$ pgrep -a pulseaudio
19813 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --system --disallow-exit --realtime
--log-target=journal --daemonize=no


/etc/pulse/client.conf contains:
default-server = /var/run/pulse/native
autospawn = no


I am member of the 'pulse-acces' group:
$ id
uid=1001(clohr) gid=1001(clohr)
groups=1001(clohr),27(sudo),29(audio),110(wireshark),114(pulse-access)

So, what's wrong?

Any idea is welcome
Best regards
Christophe
