if pulseaudio is started by desktop environment

/etc/xrdp/sesman.ini

[SessionVariables]
PULSE_SCRIPT=/etc/xrdp/pulse/default.pa

if pulseaudio is started by systemd

/etc/systemd/system/pulseaudio.service.d/xrdp.conf

[Service]
Environment="PULSE_SCRIPT=/etc/xrdp/pulse/default.pa"

if you want to start pulseaudio manually

PULSE_SCRIPT=/etc/xrdp/pulse/default.pa pulseaudio --daemonize=no

When installing I get this message: Remember to pass the environment "PULSE_SCRIPT=/etc/xrdp/pulse/default.pa" to pulseaudio to make this module work.

But what does it mean? Where the enviroment variable has to be placed? A more detailed message would be helpful to everyone ...

So will this be updated each time a new version of pulseaudio is released?

Thanks a lot!

The fix works - that's good enough.

Cheers, p.

@captaincoder @sshaikh @piedro I made a temporary fix for this. if you have a better idea. feel free to let me know.

Sadly this always breaks with:

ERROR: Error downloading https://freedesktop.org/software/pulseaudio/releases/pulseaudio-.tar.xz

I see the point of @captaincoder but do not know how to fix it.

Btw, it's line 14 in the PKGBUILD

Any solution? Really would like to get some connections with audio going...

Best regards, p.

I raised this elsewhere and got some further suggestions:

https://github.com/AladW/aurutils/issues/898#issuecomment-1019898840

of which I personally like the look of 2.

Just echoing @captaincoder in that it's problematic running this in a chroot. I currently run the command and edit the PKGBUILD manually.

I guess the potential issue with using pacman is that this needs to be built against the version installed rather than the version available, although I accept in a rolling release distro that should be the same.

Either way a fix would be great.

This build can break when using aurutils with the container option. The container host does not have pulseaudio installed, nor does it have a need for it. The _pulseaudio_ver variable then gets set to an empty string. I suggest something like the following to obtain the version number from pacman instead of relying on makedeps that might not have been installed yet.

_pulseaudio_ver=$(pacman -Ss pulseaudio | grep "extra/pulseaudio " | sed -r -e 's/^.*pulseaudio ([0-9]+\.[0-9]+).*$/\1/g')

Probably awk can do a better job but I'm no hero with that language.

The /libexec directory in this package should be moved to /usr/libexec.

@nergar this is a module for xrdp, not bluetooth.

Build fails with BlueZ requires SBC support.

Adding sbc to make dependencies should fix it

I'm seeing the following while trying to build 0.5-2 in chroot:

I believe the _pulseaudio_ver=$(pulseaudio --version | awk '{print $NF}') line is returning empty due to the chroot, so perhaps pulseaudio should be a makedepends?

If anyone's trying to debug why sound isn't working, I added some fixes to the wiki.

Here is fix.
