Does Pulse <u>always</u> start as a daemon, or is it sometimes set up
as a hal/udev item, or something else?<br>
<br>
The goal is to have Jack always run, to have Pulse be the default
non-Jack audio API, to have the .asoundrc send user-level ALSA requests
to Pulse. <br>
<br>
This is working well in my current system load, except when I restart
Jack; when I restart Jack, the following occurs:<br>
<ul>
<li>Pulse goes away as far as any apps are concerned, including Jack
and its own diagnostics; <br>
</li>
<li>the default Gnome volume control (set to point at Pulse via
.asoundrc) spontaneously goes away;</li>
<li>If I try /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart, it says it is not
started;</li>
<li>if I try ps aux | grep pulse , it says that it <b>is</b> started.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<br>
In my previous load (AVLinux), all I had to do was start jackd in
/etc/rc.local, tell Pulse to use Jack as its sink, and tell Pulse to
daemonize via its own .conf file, and it did very well. I have tried
several methods, including setting Jack and Pulse at different
runlevels, but when I try to use Jack as an /etc/init.d item the boot
jack log says that I don't have permission to use realtime scheduling,
and it doesn't run.<br>
<br>
Help?<br>
