Package: xfce4-settings
Version: 4.12.4-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

After fresh installment of Devuan Beowulf by RC netinstall ISO,
PulseAudio is enabled by xfce setting as the attached screenshot.
But ps ax | grep pulseaudio shows nothing,
and Pulse Audio Volume Control (pavucontrol) cannot connect
to the pulseaudio daemon.

My system can still use sound without pulseaudio,
e.g. by firefox.

Best regards, Ryutaroh Matsumoto

I am pretty certain this is bug #276 (and friends)

You need to disable autospawn by setting

autospawn=yes in /etc/pulse/client.conf.d/00-disable-autospawn.conf, or
commenting out autospawn=no.

This issue and workaround is documented in the Release Notes.

  https://files.devuan.org/devuan_beowulf/Release_notes.txt

It is also mentioned in the Buster Release Notes.

Thanks.
