Package: pulseaudio
Version: 7.0-1+b1
Severity: important
I seem to have found a bug.
Here's how:
1.) Use Debian's unstable repository
2.) $ apt-get dist-upgrade # On November 4, 2015
3.) Edit /etc/pulse/client.conf to not autospawn pulseaudio
#; autospawn = yes
; autospawn = no
4.) Reboot.
5.) Run pulseaudio with verbose diagnostics as
a normal user on an xterm's command line
with
$ pulseaudio -vvvvvvvvvv --log-time
6.) Launch iceweasel.
7.) Play sound with
$ echo "hello world" | festival --language americanenglish -b --tts
8.) Here's where the bug happens.
Use your mouse to access iceweasel's add-on manager

9.) Try to play sound again
$ echo "hello world" | festival --language americanenglish -b --tts
Silence!
festival says
ALSA lib pulse.c:243:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect:
Protocol error
aplay: main:722: audio open error: Connection refused
I
a.) expected to hear festival say "hello world", and
b.) am surprised pulseaudio's module-augment-properties.c:
looked for a .desktop file for iceweasel.
I hope that helps,
