It allows you to do advanced operations on your sound data as it passes between your application and your hardware. Things like transferring the audio to a different machine, changing the sample format or channel count and mixing several sounds into one are easily achieved using a sound server ---------- howto: alsa needs to be working for whatever sound device you have. Create dbus entry for booting into X $ echo 'dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session' > ~/.X.d/dbus $ /usr/local/etc/init.d/dbus status [Check dbus is running] If not running, start dbus with $ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/dbus start If dbus was not, initially running, add a command to start it next reboot $ sudo echo '/usr/local/etc/init.d/dbus start' >> /opt/bootlocal.sh exit to console startx $ pulseaudio -vv [to test] When it is running correctly echo "start-pulseaudio-x11" > ~/.X.d/pulseaudio ---------- if a bluetooth sound devices is paired and configured, pulseaudio should find it automatically if the daemon is running ---------- use pavucontrol to switch source & control volume ---------- This extension contains: pulseaudio-5.0 - GPLv2 - http://freedesktop.org/software/pulseaudio/releases/pulseaudio-5.0.tar.xz compiled for x86_64 6x.
