Yes, we found our initial problems were because pulse was not running. I believe pulse is configured to start on boot in the init sequences when it is installed in Lenny but I'm not sure. I do not recall doing anything special on the client side - John I have still problems to get the sound to work. Hopefully there will be a howto some day...
I would like that very much, too.
Regards, We do not have an exact how-to on our setup. Here are snippets of our internal documentation in case they may be of help:
We installed pulseaudio from lenny-backports
We must configure the mplayer plugin to use pulseaudio. To do this, create an /etc/mplayerplug-in.conf file with the following contents: ao=pulse download=1 cachesize=1024 cache-percent=25 keep-download=0 dload-dir=$HOME noembed=0 autoplay=1 enable-wmp=1 enable-qt=1 enable-rm=0 enable-gmp=1 enable-dvx=1 enable-mpeg=1 enable-mp3=1 enable-midi=0 enable-pls=1 enable-ogg=1 enable-smil=1 enable-helix=1 nomediacache=0 nopauseonhide=1 rtsp-use-tcp=0 rtsp-use-http=0
# Add the user to the fuse and pulse groups sed -i -e "s/^fuse:.*$/&,${1}/" -e "s/^pulse:.*$/&,${1}/" -e "s/^pulse-rt:.*$/&,${1}/" -e "s/^pulse-access:.*$/&,${1}/" -e "s/:,/:/" ${VPATH}${1}/etc/group
knotifyrc: [Misc] External player=paplay Use external player=true Volume=100
[StartProgress] Arts Init=false KNotify Init=true Use Arts=false
We have some packages we must install from testing (Squeeze). Evolution does not support WebDAV contacts until the testing version (2.28) and paplay cannot play the KDE ogg file sounds until it has the libsndfile1 from testing.
/etc/iceweasel/iceweaselrc: # which /dev/dsp wrapper to use ICEWEASEL_DSP="esddsp" #ICEWEASEL_DSP="padsp"
I know it's not exact but it is working for us. Hope it helps - John
