Pulseaudio fail

Barrucadu · 2009-10-30 23:20:55

23:18:02 % alsamixer   
Assertion 'size < (1024*1024*96)' failed at pulse/xmalloc.c:63, function pa_xmalloc(). Aborting.
zsh: abort      alsamixer

No weird configuration, stock kernel, pulseaudio, alsa-utils, alsa-plugins, etc from the repos… I did some googling about that error message and apparently it's been fixed for over a year now. Hmm.

alsamixer shouldn't be opening your pulse device anyhow. Set your default ctl to hw.

ctl.!default {
  type hw
  card 0
}

Ok, so alsamixer now works; but everything else audio-related dies with that error message.

Something is setup wrong. No idea what that could be, but it seems its between pulseaudio and alsa. Check back on the wiki for both of those.
