No pulseaudio output from spotify-player

I am installing spotify-player with this command:

cargo install --git https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player.git --branch spotify-connect-support --locked --no-default-features --features notify,pulseaudio-backend,media-control

I am expecting pulseaudio output after this install, but spotify-player uses rodio output. What I am doing wrong?

Well one thing that isn't right is not using your package manager.

pacman -S spotify-player

I'd try that and see if it works

Spotify has changed the way to login to the service. In the package version of spotify-player that issue is not fixed. Only the git version has patches to login to spotify, that is the reason why I am installing from github.
