Pulseaudio problems

Heya,

today I installed pulseaudio like specified in the wiki (with the alsa stuff), but it won't start. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio
Here is what I've found in /var/log/user.log:

/var/log/user.log:Nov  9 13:01:02 arctica pulseaudio[7465]: alsa-util.c: Device hw:0 doesn't support 44100 Hz, changed to 48000 Hz.
/var/log/user.log:Nov  9 13:01:02 arctica pulseaudio[7465]: alsa-util.c: Cannot find mixer control "Master".
/var/log/user.log:Nov  9 13:01:02 arctica pulseaudio[7465]: alsa-util.c: Cannot find fallback mixer control "PCM".
/var/log/user.log:Nov  9 13:01:02 arctica pulseaudio[7465]: x11wrap.c: XOpenDisplay() failed
/var/log/user.log:Nov  9 13:01:02 arctica pulseaudio[7465]: module.c: Failed to load  module "module-x11-publish" (argument: ""): initialization failed.
/var/log/user.log:Nov  9 13:01:02 arctica pulseaudio[7465]: main.c: Module load failed.
/var/log/user.log:Nov  9 13:01:02 arctica pulseaudio[7465]: main.c: failed to initialize daemon.

I'm not sure what to do now, so if anyone has a clue I would be thankfull to here it.
Thanks

About the
  x11wrap.c: XOpenDisplay() failed
  module.c: Failed to load  module "module-x11-publish" (argument: ""): initialization failed.

You'd best try to disable modules-x11-publish in /etc/pulse/default.pa.
It is the reason PulseAudio isn't starting if I'm not mistaken.

Re: Pulseaudio problems

Thanks abelstr,

removing module-x11-publish from default.pa seems to have fixed it, pulse audio works now.

I have one problem left: padevchooser doesn't want to start

padevchooser 
libnotify-Message: Unable to get session bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

** (padevchooser:7382): WARNING **: pa_browser_new() failed.

this does not seem to be a problem of pulse audio because "notify-send test" also shows this error, any ideas?

Re: Pulseaudio problems

Are you sure DBus is running?

Re: Pulseaudio problems

I think avahi-daemon must be running too.
That solved it for me.

Just say yes
