Pulseaudio Raspberr Pi Network sound wont work

Hi all,

I want to stream audio to my raspberry pi (running arch as well)

I followed the guide to set up pulseaudio sound-networking for my main archlinux machine and the raspi but I dont seem to get it right.

I followed the steps from: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pu … er_network

I did:

load-module module-native-protocol-tcp in default.pa on both machines

copied the cookie

started avahi stuff on both machines:

# systemctl start avahi-daemon
# systemctl enable avahi-daemon

load-module module-zeroconf-publish on my main machine
load-module module-zeroconf-discover on the pi

And now I get a weird output stream in Pavucontrol:

pulseaudio: Virtuoso 100 (Xonar DX) Analog Surround 4.0 for user@raspi

But not a second output device as I expected... am a bit clueless here...

cheers,
purzel

Ahhh I'm a bit stupid, the source machine should have discover and the pi publish.

Now I can choose between the local server and the raspi via pasystray.

ARRRGS... and now pulseaudio segfaults after starting -.- I should never have rebooted..

I: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup complete.
D: [pulseaudio] module-zeroconf-publish.c: Publishing services in Zeroconf
D: [avahi-ml] module-zeroconf-publish.c: Successfully created entry group for user@raspi: bcm2835 ALSA Analog Stereo.
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The last words that come from pulseaudio...

tried pacman -Rs pulseaudio / pacman -S pulseaudio already....

Re: Pulseaudio Raspberr Pi Network sound wont work

Is there any fix know for this problem by now ?

I currently trie to setup my pi as network audio sink, when 'module-zeroconf-publish' is activated pulseaudio crashes with a segfault.
I run pulseaudio 6.0-1 , libpulse 6.0-1 and avahi 0.6.31-14

Tested without zerconf-publish, it does not break but also not shows up on other hosts.

Apperantly this was fixed in 6.0.
If anyone runs into equal problems check the permissions of the user pulseaudio is started with.
There should be an user pulse that is part of the group audio, this user should be created on install but somehow my users were messed up.
[Solved] for me.
