 Hi Jeremy,
 
 To be honest, I'm not running xfce anymore and I'd like to be unlisted
 as maintainer. I thought Guillaume and Reinoud, who were packaging xfce
 4.8, would have taken over by now, but it doesn't seem to be the case.
 
 (Also, because I'm listed as maintainer in Makefile.common, it's
 inherited by all xfce plugins, most of which I never even used.)

 I don't think anything in xfce (or at least the version in pkgsrc) uses
 pulseaudio? I can't even find an xfce4-pulseaudio package in pkgsrc (or
 with google even). No idea what causes pulse to start on Martins
 computer, I don't think it ever did for me with xfce.

 I think I had the same errors when I first used pulseaudio. I commented
 out hal-related parts in my ~/.pulse/default.pa. IIRC, I had to comment
 some other stuff too, before it wanted to run. I wondered whether
 everyone had to do this... Are you running pulse and did it work out of
 the box for you? 
 
 kind regards
