Hi all. I've got the basic recipe working, e.g. :0 * ^from:.*foo@gmail.com.* { :0c: ${MAILDIR}/INBOX :0ahi | cvlc -I default -R --gain 8.0 ${HOME}/ringtones/cash_register.mp3 } (pretty much copy-pasted from examples on the web). However, while the `cvlc` commmand works fine from the command line, when run from procmail, I keep getting [000055a9e1d96468] core audio output error: Audio output failed [000055a9e1d96468] core audio output error: The audio device "default" could not be used: Device or resource busy. [000055a9e1d96468] core audio output error: module not functional [00007fbddcc0ca08] core decoder error: failed to create audio output ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1099:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave in the procmail log and [pulseaudio] module-jackdbus-detect.c: Unable to contact D-Bus session bus: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported: Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11 [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load module "module-jackdbus-detect" (argument: "channels=2"): initialization failed.

[pulseaudio] main.c: Module load failed. [pulseaudio] main.c: Module load failed. [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to initialize daemon. [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed. in `journalctl -f`. (leading bits of the lines trimmed) I have tried wrapping the `cvlc` in a shell script which does export DISPLAY=:0 cvlc -I default -R --gain 8.0 ${HOME}/ringtones/cash_register.mp3 but that doesn't help. In this case I get a standard message in the procmail log and the following in `journalctl -f` [pulseaudio] socket-server.c: bind(): Address already in use [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load module "module-esound-protocol-unix" (argument: ""): initialization failed. [pulseaudio] main.c: Module load failed. [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to initialize daemon. [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed. Suggestions? Any sound card info I should provide, etc.?
