My system has three devices on it. If I modify /usr/bin/xbmc-standalone to more
or less look like the following, all three of the audio sources are detected by
xbmc:
/usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11
sleep 6s
/usr/bin/xbmc --standalone
If I do not have that "sleep 6s" line in there, only the first device is
detected, but it is the one I don't want to use :(
It will be obvious to you in the logs:
1) Link to xbmc.log started WITH the 6sec delay (i.e. works fine):
https://gist.github.com/graysky2/25ff0f511945d25e15d8
2) Link to xbmc.log started WITHOUT the 6sec delay (i.e. not all devices are
detected): https://gist.github.com/graysky2/65ba59602d4b3f31160f

I do not know :/
