Pulseaudio output not working #1346

Interesting find! It looks like the audio drivers are all named explicitly when parsing the options, and PulseAudio was never added to this. Looks like the only ones so named are actually JACK, OSS and ALSA. Are you able to select PulseAudio in the Audio System tab of the Preferences dialog? |

From 1.0.2, if Hydrogen can't open the requested audio system, it will behave like "Auto" has been selected and attempt to open any audio system it can in order to provide a fallback, and that's probably what's happening here. I've just taken a look at the source for the PulseAudio driver for the first time, and it looks like it doesn't provide any feedback whatsoever when it fails to connect. That needs to be improved. Are you using the hydrogen package from your distro or building from source? |

Here's an extract from strace, matching pulseaudio. I omitted the search for libpulsecommon.

Is PulseAudio working in general? Could you provide the output of the following commands |

I'm trying to get hydrogen to work on my archlinux installation. I only get "Error starting audio driver", even when I choose pulseaudio in the Audio tab. Below the output from the commandline. It looks like it doesn't even try to use pulseaudio.
How can I debug this further?
