When we held the test day on 9.Okt, we put together bunch of tips related to PA ( see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days/2008-10-09 )
Pay very good attention to the bug report section if followed it will avoid bugs being set to NEEDINFO status. * *These are the highlights... * General Debugging tips.
Start by adding your user to the pulse-rt group. *
/su -c '/usr/sbin/usermod -a -G pulse-rt <username>'/
*You will need to logout and in again for it to take effect! *
*Then kill PA. *
/pulseaudio -k/
*You do this as a regular user not root!*
*Start pulseaudio verbose mode *
/pulseaudio -vvvv/
*Ensure the volume is up and unmuted using either:* / alsamixer
pavucontrol // alsamixer -c0 (to bypass PA) / * Check if there are any */$HOME/.asoundrc*/*' files present that might be customizing your sound preferences?*
*Check if there are any sound-related messages present in */var/log/messages* or */dmesg /*
When filing the bug report....*
*Include the */URL/* generated by *
/http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-driver.git;a=blob_plain;f=utils/alsa-inf... / / su -c 'smoltSendProfile -a'/
*Include output of.. * / aplay -L/
/pulseaudio -vvvv /
"ls" *inside of* "/pacmd/" * If you found CPU load related issues, please include oprofile dumps in your bug report. * /See the cheat sheet: http://oprofile.sourceforge.net/docs// * For crashes include a full backtrace. *
JBG
Ps. There will be another test day held on the 16th where we will be focusing our testing effort against Better lirc support and Security Audit.

A request: Could you please format your messages like everyone else does? Your usage of '*' and '/' characters in so many places is strange and decreases the readability a lot, IMO. Perhaps you use them as some form of meta-characters for "bold", "italic" and similar styles, but it doesn't make much sense in plain-text email.

Thanks for the feedback ... a wiki formatted version of the test plan can be found at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days/2008-10-09#How_to_test.3F.
Please take a moment to review the plan and please add your sound card information.
Thanks, James

The use of *bold* and /italic/ formatting in plain text email predates *me* on the internet, and I'm not that young ;o)

I've never (I mean literally *never* :-) seen /italic/ shown this way, though *bold* is quite common. However I think Michael's point was that pseudo-rich text in what are meant to be literal snippets of command lines or logs is bound to be misleading.
