~sigh~ I opened the Pulse volume control applet and noticed that pidgin was connected to the audio server, but it was stuck there. I quit pidgin and restarted it and it seems to be working now.
There might be some kind of bug lingering that was causing it's connection to pulseaudio to be hung up but as it stands now, it's working. -- won't play sounds with pulseaudio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306560 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
