http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623837 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623837#c0 Summary: Lacking Alsa configuration for PulseAudio ($ALSA_CONFIG_PATH not set for user) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Sound AssignedTo: tiwai@novell.com ReportedBy: zajec5@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux i686; U; pl) Presto/2.6.30 Version/10.60 I installed openSUSE 11.3 and decided to enable PulseAudio support in it. So I installed some packages: 1) pulseaudio 2) alsa-plugins-pulse 3) Dependencies like: libpulse0, libpulse-mainloop-glib0, libxine1-pulse, .. Then enabled PulseAudio using: "yast2 sound" → Other → Configure PulseAudio → Enable PulseAudio. Finally rebooted my machine, just for sure. The result is that PulseAudio works great now, I can do "mplayer -ao pulse file.flac", Amarok works fine as well. The problem is that alsa is not configured properly and it sill tries to play using direct access to sound card, not PulseAudio with it's plugin. There exists /etc/alsa-pulse.conf pointing to /etc/asound-pulse.conf (which also exists), however /etc/alsa-pulse.conf *is not used for non-root user*. ======================================== Following explains everything:
