Have no clue if it would be possible, but we would only be a client for PulseAudio so you wouldnt be able to stream audio to the XBox in anycase.
But from Xbox to a PulseAudio server (on OSX, Win32 or Linux) might be possible but personally I don´t own a XBox or think it would be worth the trouble, but anyone else would be free to try and can always contact me for the snippet of the sourcecode of the changes Ive made to get it running on Linux as a client.

Cheers,

Quote:For the, everything works (even the sound "ticks" in the menu) when i kill pulseaudio. So the script:
pulseaudio -k
sleep 2
xbmc
pulseaudio -D

works great ;-)

is possible hardcode it in xbmc, and start xbmc from other icon (like firefox safemode) or add it in audio settings

pulseaudio client on XBOX is what I asked for.

If the pulseaudio client is implemented in xbox, it will give the xbox, which located in the remote area (bedroom for example), the ability to stream audio to a master audio room (let it be the lounge). All the functions can be controlled via a iphone.

XBOX is a very reliable and cheap platform for the XBMC. I am using it watching DVB TV (mythtv) everyday. For this purpose I would say it still has some good 4, 5 years life.

Thanks for your work on the pulseaudio support.

Regarding disabling pulseaudio - all the methods here didn't work for me on a fresh Intrepid install, disabling the daemon just made it start when the window manager came up.

The only 'fix' (bodge) that worked was to make the pulseaudio binary non executable. I only use the box for XBMC, so compatibility with other stuff is not an issue.

Oh forgot to mention that you need to make sure that you have the Final version of Atlantis. All beta version will not work with pulseaudio through alsa plugin.

For those interested I have commited the first patches for pulseaudio, although they are still in the early stages and currently only work on DVDPlayer.

as such its still recomended to disable pulseaudio but if you want to try it out use the latest svn and:
sudo apt-get install libpulse-dev

and run the usual ./configure && make && make install

I find a problem trying to kill Pulseaudio server.

sergio@sergio-laptop:~$ pulseaudio -k
W: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to find original dlopen loader.
E: main.c: Failed to kill daemon.

is there any other way?

(Using ubuntu 8.10)

topfs2 · 2008-11-23, 17:12

Do it more harshly:
killall pulseaudio

baqtor · 2008-11-23, 19:43

Nop, video is still superfast.

sergio@sergio-laptop:~$ killall pulseaudio
pulseaudio: ningún proceso eliminado

wich means "no eliminated process" (or something like that)

Would be good to see that Debug Log, should be located in /var/tmp/xbmc*.log

miind · 2008-11-24, 19:46

so is there actualy no usefull workaround for this bug? how fast do you guys think we can get a real patch?

topfs2 · 2008-11-24, 21:34

submit a trac for it and add debuglogs
thats the way for us to be able to track down and fix bugs Smile

I had the same. I just located the pulseaudio executable (I think it's in \usr\bin) and made it non executable, but renaming it would be fine too.

This only works for me because I use nothing else on the box bar XBMC.
