What do mean "not working"?
Different kinds of audio related issues.
From xbmc issueing "failed to initialize audio device"
messages, over "being
unable to control audio volume" to always "full
volume"/"very low volume".
What exactly happens seems to be machine-, account- and
xbmc-built/version/patch dependent.
AFAIU, xbmc in a standalone-session tries to use alsa => I am likely facing the
zoo of problems related to initializing alsa.
Does the script not run?
The script tries to launch pulseaudio
and then to fallback to "native xbmc" if
pulseaudio is not available, using "pulse-session".
pulse-session doesn't exist under Fedora
=> xbmc-standalone always falls back to using "native xbmc".
=> If we indent to always use pulse-audio, this script needs to be modified.
May-be something along the lines of:
/usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog --use-pid-file
/usr/bin/xbmc -fs --standalone "$@"
/usr/bin/pulseaudio --kill --use-pid-file
I am not sure.
Are you referring maybe to the /usr/share/xsessions/XBMC.desktop
functionality
where it launches an entire session from GDM?
Yes, this is what I am referring to.
xbmc-standalone, the binary
seems to work at least.
Well, not for me:
Testcase: Reboot into GDM; login into an xbmc-session; try to play an audio
file.
On one machine this appears to work, on another one I am receiving "failed to
initialize audio device" warnings or am unable to control the audio volume.
What exactly happens seems to depend upon the account I using to launch such an
xbmx-session. On freshly created accounts, I am receiving "faild to initialize
audio device", on previously used accounts, I typically end up with sound but
without ability to control the audio volume.
