*** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused [00000481] oss audio output error: cannot open audio device (/dev/dsp) [00000481] pulse audio output error: Failed to connect to server: Connection refused [00000481] pulse audio output error: Pulse initialization failed ... I assume you have vlc 0.9.6 or 0.9.7, right? You have the vlc-aout-pulse package installed?
I see: $ rpm -q vlc-aout-pulse vlc-aout-pulse-0.9.6-2.6 $ rpm -q vlc vlc-0.9.6-2.6
If so, on OSS 11.0 I 'sometimes' had the issue with pulse audio in gerenal ( it got much better in 11.1).
Hmmm, so maybe I start this all again in 18 days?
So the solution 'might' be for you to simply uninstall all pulse audio related packages and 'switch' pack to plain ol' ALSA.
What do I need to do to achieve that? Do I simply do rpm --erase vlc-aout-pulse-0.9.6-2.6 Or is there more to it than that?
Hope this brings you on the right track,
Dominique
