race condition between pulseaudio and chromium

Hello,

I have a race condition between pulseaudio and chromium which I start with xinitrc. It leads to "no cards available for configuration" in pavucontrol. What is the clean way to solve this issue ?

Have you installed pulseaudio-alsa in accordance with https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio#ALSA?

I was missing pulseaudio-alsa. The 2 lib32 was already installed (so I don't understand why I miss pulseaudio-alsa ... anyway).Now everything is installed and the module is not loaded. However, the problem remains.

Re: race condition between pulseaudio and chromium

Pulseaudio-alsa isn't needed in this case as chromium does have full pulseaudio support. What you could do is delay the start of chromium until pulse is loaded, or see if pulseaudio's systemd unit/socket helps you out here, e.g.

$systemctl --user start|enable pulseaudio.{socket, service}

I haven't actually tested any of this, so any results you get from this would be interesting
