I felt it was time to review the situation as it is a number of years since I played around with pulse. I found it wasn't worth using for my purposes and while it provides many nice features, for some situations it complicated issues. My memory of pulse is a bit vague now so I may be wrong in what I am saying below.
I think there are two issues - pulse permission/access and LMS as a daemon/service. Assuming you are running LMS as a daemon/service (i.e. not from a shell prompt) on a Pulse audio system and trying to use the WaveInput plugin. Then I think the plugin will alaway fail as I think daemon/service have no audio subsystem configured. Even if audio subsystem was configured, it may be difficult to configure the plugin to use the desktop audio since all audio will have "virtualised" by Pulse audio and I think (and I am not sure)you will need to configure pulse audio to enable the LMS daemon to have access to the desktop audio streams. So I think you have two choices. 1. run LMS from a shell prompt as a child process in your login so that the application whose audio you want to copy will be in the same process tree. or 2. Remove Pulse and use ALSA instead. I think ALSA allow access to audio from a daemon without complications - however I haven't tested it. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49584 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
