My pulseaudio config is attached. Nothing is enabled in client.conf.
Ditto for daemon.conf.
/etc/default/pulseaudio has:
PULSEAUDIO_SYSTEM_START=0
and
DISALLOW_MODULE_LOADING=0
If you want to use pulseaudio then you need to setup your alsa to go through
pulseaudio. See:
http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#ALSAApplications
The pulse alsa plugin can be found in libasound2-plugins.
I've just tested neverball, it seems to work fine.
Sorry, my bad.
Making the setup more automated is still on our todo list, but it has proven to
be quite tricky to get right.
Couldn't there be an option like '--migrate-to-pa' or an environment variable that pulseaudio could
take into account to migrate/create the system/user configuration automatically. By default it would
be set so migration is disabled.
So, when running pulseaudio for the first time (depending on the value of that parameter) would make
the necessary changes to make pulse the default sound output using hal or another alsa mixer (or
however is called), etc.
Wouldn't that work?
Just an idea.
Closing this bug as it's a user configuration error, not a bug in pulseaudio
