Well, thanks again tvjon, this seems to be a good start to solve the problem. There are many packages from Debian ARMHF which have compatibilty issues, it is not feasible for RPT / RPF to test them all. If it doesn't, oh well, blame it on Linux randomness, which is a Linux 'feature' I bet that a lot of the more seasoned Linux users of this forum have a software package or two for which they have similar perspectives. I read comment as not liking pulseaudio, and/or he's aware of some scenarios where it doesn't work, or knows some set of issues with it. It worked the last time I took it for a spin (which I may do again.). It's included, which means it at least compiles and, more likely than not, works. If it were truly not supported, it wouldn't be included. pulseaudio is included in the Raspbian distro, as are a large collection of various bits of software. With apologies to if I'm incorrect, but I don't read either his statement or the statement that posted, as statements of 'non-support' (not sure what that means, actually). From a user point of view, everything should still work exactly as before – the only change is that if you still wish to use PulseAudio for some other reason, you will need to install it yourself.įri 5:56 am : This is just one of several messages where a team member says to avoid installing pulseaudio. PulseAudio is therefore no longer installed by default, and the volume plugin on the taskbar will no longer start and stop PulseAudio. For Stretch, we are using the bluez-alsa package to make Bluetooth audio work with ALSA itself.

In Jessie, we used PulseAudio to provide support for audio over Bluetooth, but integrating this with the ALSA architecture used for other audio sources was clumsy. This change was made when Raspbian Stretch was released:

Please provide a reference for pulseaudio not being supported by the Raspberry Pi team. As said above, pulseaudio is fine but is not supported by Raspberry Team, and this is a drastic limitation of this board which can't be seen as a desktop replacement for this reason at least
