[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1825452] Re: Pulse audio backend doesn't work in v4.0.0-rc4 release

[Gerd Hoffmann]

You can use -audiodev
pa,id=whatever,server=unix:/home/ivan/.pulse_server to get things going
with your configuration.

Oh, and this has nothing to do with systemd:

address@hidden ~ $ set | grep ^XDG
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/local/share:/usr/share
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/var/run/user/1000
XDG_SESSION_COOKIE=gentoo-1556780854.41316-799155214

(gentoo with openrc + xfce, serial console login, x11 login has a few
more of these set).

Title:
  Pulse audio backend doesn't work in  v4.0.0-rc4 release

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  Using Gentoo linux, build from source: qemu v4.0.0-rc4 release
  (eeba63fc7fface36f438bcbc0d3b02e7dcb59983)

  Pulse audio backend doesn't initialize because of the:
  audio/paaudio.c:
  -    if (!popts->has_server) {
  -        char pidfile[64];
  -        char *runtime;
  -        struct stat st;
  -
  -        runtime = getenv("XDG_RUNTIME_DIR");
  -        if (!runtime) {
  -            return NULL;
  -        }
  -        snprintf(pidfile, sizeof(pidfile), "%s/pulse/pid", runtime);
  -        if (stat(pidfile, &st) != 0) {
  -            return NULL;
  -        }
  -    }
  XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set for me. There is no /run/user directory exist in 
my system.

  Also:
  $ less ~/.pulse/client.conf  
  default-server = unix:/home/ivan/.pulse_server
