Dear Sébastien,
The current osspd packages isn't working with current pulseaudio and it hasn't
for more than a year. I didn't file a bug back then, but I can confirm that
at the time it was a pulseaudio update that broke osspd.
Downgrading to an earlier version fixed the problem.
Here is what the osspd logs says:
ossp-padsp[] WARN: failed to subscribe to context events (Bad state)
ossp-padsp[] ERR: failed to connect context, state=5 (Bad state)
This bug has also been reported on launchpad for Ubuntu:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/osspd/+bug/1857810
Almost 18 months later, I did found (by pure luck) that the ArchLinux package
has a fix for this problem.
Please find a debdiff in attachment so that you can upload the fix in Debian.
Thanks a lot for this! I have applied the patch in the git version of the
package. I'll look into moving to a non-deprecated debhelper compat level, and
then upload a new version.
Would you be interested in helping maintain osspd? As you can tell from it not
working for more than a year, I am not actually using this package any more. I
am also not maintaining any other Debian packages, so each time something comes
up I have to re-learn how to use the involved tools.^^
Kind regards,
Ralf
