[Xavier Bestel]

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 0.9.15-1
Severity: important


Hi,

since 0.9.15 my sound server can't start anymore. Here's what I've got in the logs:

May 22 19:32:21 awak pulseaudio[4556]: main.c: Le démon s'exécute en mode système, désactivation forcée du mode SHM. 
May 22 19:32:21 awak pulseaudio[4556]: main.c: Le démon s'exécute en mode système, désactivation forcée de la fermeture après délai d'inactivité.

configuration file 

.. and no sound.

Thanks for helping,
