</div></div>The error message is printed when trying to convert a system error<br>
message string to UTF-8. One possible reason is that PulseAudio is<br>
built without iconv support, and a system error message is not valid<br>
UTF-8. What is LANG set to? If it's any variant of en_US, it seems<br>
unlikely that the strings would contain characters outside the safe<br>
ASCII set.<br>
<br>
If PulseAudio is built with iconv support, then there's apparently some<br>
problem with using iconv, but I don't have any guesses about what the<br>
exact problem might be.<br>
<br>
Is it intentional that you have the en_US ISO-8859-1 locale generated?<br>
I don't see the point of having anything else than UTF-8 locales.<br>
