Re: Can't Start padevchooser

Same issue here. I believe padevchooser is deprecated for PulseAudio. Unfortunate, since there's no other way of getting a pulse system tray icon.

You may want to try out the gnome pulse applets in AUR. I'm just going to rely on launching pavucontrol from gnome-do instead.

A bit more searching gave me this

You may want to try it out. i don't want padevchooser enough to be willing to start up another daemon for it

Re: Can't Start padevchooser

not sure what you're referring to in that other thread...maybe I'm just being a bit dumb, but I don't see any alternatives listed

Re: Can't Start padevchooser

sure this thread is correct...

just start the avahi-daemon then PulseAudio Device Chooser is able to start.
