Hi all pulseaudio supporters and debaters,
I've written a pulse audio backend to mediastreamer2 (linphone's media
engine). Of course it comes together with alsa, not as a replacement.
And it's optionnal in compilation.
But actually the main problem I have now is that I can't get pulseaudio
to play a single sound on my laptop, even with paplay.
Absolutely no errors. I can see the player connection with various
pulseaudio tools. Volumes are nonzero.
But I just hear silence....
I have a debian unstable updated last week.
Anyone has ideas ?
Thanks for your suggestions.
Simon
