Okay, as I maintain many games and I want to make sure this doesn't mess things
up, I've followed the above instructions. No joy. pa (through /usr/bin/esd)
doesn't get started, when started from a terminal I get:
[hans at shalem ~]$ esd
W: main.c: WARNING: called SUID root, but not in group 'pulse-rt'.
pulseaudio: pulsecore/fdsem.c:181: pa_fdsem_after_poll: Assertion
`pa_atomic_dec(&f->waiting) >= 1' failed.
Aborted
[hans at shalem ~]$
This is on x86_64 rawhide (last fully updated about a week ago), please don't
tell me pa isn't 64 bit clean, because then it really should be removed as an
F-8 feature.
Regards,
Hans
