Pulse Audio crash on start-up

[prupert]

When I run boxee, I get the following error:

Running Boxee test...
* Enable platform firectoriesAnd the log goes to... /tmp/root-
is rtorrent running: 1
ALSA lib pcm_pulse.c:625pulse_prepare) PulseAudio: Unable to create stream: Invalid argument

E: stream.c: Assertion 's' failed at pulse/stream.c:971, function pa_stream_drain(). Aborting.
Aborted

I can't remember if I am running an odd audio driver due to me using Creative's XiFi card. I think I might be. Does boxee only support ALSA?

Yes, you have to remove pulseaudio and use alsa

[prupert]

Yeah, I removed pulseaudio and it loads now - though now my TV-Out is all knackered, but that is an Ubuntu problem, not a boxee issue.

So, as far as I got, the new version works ok, I just gotta try it out properly with a decent display

Crazy question how do you point it to the ALSA drivers instead of the pulse? Because all my drivers in Ubuntu are already pointed to ALSA.

[tlawry]

have you tried just removing pulse? you can always put them back in if there is a problem, but I have not had a problem after removing pulse.

I am glad to read it here.
