[X2Go-User] Pulseaudio doesn't start on Win7

[Ralf]

Hello, Michael!

I've tested the binaries ...
... sry, but no luck. Pulse won't start.
Using the windows-commandline this happens:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D:\Daten\x2goclient-dev\pulse>pulseaudio.exe --version
pulseaudio 5.99.1-18-ge17579

D:\Daten\x2goclient-dev\pulse>pulseaudio.exe
W: [(null)] daemon/main.c: Compiled with DEPRECATED libsamplerate 
support!
W: [(null)] pulsecore/core-util.c: Secure directory creation not 
supported on this platform.
W: [(null)] pulsecore/core-util.c: Secure directory creation not 
supported on this platform.
W: [(null)] pulsecore/core-util.c: Secure directory creation not 
supported on this platform.
W: [(null)] pulsecore/core.c: Failed to allocate shared memory pool. 
Falling back to a normal memory pool.
E: [(null)] daemon/main.c: Daemon startup without any loaded modules, 
refusing to work.
W: [(null)] pulsecore/core-util.c: Secure directory creation not 
supported on this platform.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
pulseaudio.exe dies more or less silently ... complaining no module is 
loaded.

Here I'am testing to load the module-waveout with record=0:
----------------------------------------------------------------
D:\Daten\x2goclient-dev\pulse>pulseaudio.exe --load="module-waveout 
record=0 sink_name=output source_name=input"
W: [(null)] daemon/main.c: Compiled with DEPRECATED libsamplerate 
support!
W: [(null)] pulsecore/core-util.c: Secure directory creation not 
supported on this platform.
W: [(null)] pulsecore/core-util.c: Secure directory creation not 
supported on this platform.
W: [(null)] pulsecore/core-util.c: Secure directory creation not 
supported on this platform.

--- Ends here before pressing ctrl-c -----
--- last line after killing the process --
W: [(null)] pulsecore/core.c: Failed to allocate shared memory pool. 
Falling back to a normal memory pool.

----------------------------------------------------------------
...running, but sure not working all the other modules are missing.

Maybe this can help you.
I'm here for more testing ...

Thanks for taking this serious!
Greetings Ralf
