Dear Maintainer,

This audio codec worked perfectly under Debian Squeeze but doesn't work anymore
with Debian Jessie.
I get these two lines in /var/log/syslog:
Sep 28 17:11:55 debian pulseaudio[958]: [pulseaudio] module-alsa-card.c: Failed
to find a working profile.
Sep 28 17:11:55 debian pulseaudio[958]: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load
module "module-alsa-card" (argument: "device_id="1" name="1"
card_name="alsa_card.1" namereg_fail=false tsched=yes fixed_latency_range=no
ignore_dB=no deferred_volume=yes use_ucm=yes card_properties="module-udev-
detect.discovered=1""): initialization failed.

Could you attach a verbose pulseaudio log ?

Hi,

I'm sorry for the delay. From the logs I can see that pulseaudio
cannot open the device. This is strange, and makes me wonder if you
have rebooted your machine since the pulseaudio update? If not, please
try rebooting. This should not normally be an issue but I'm trying to
eliminate possibilities. Also, please try moving your pulse directory
(~/.config/pulse) out of the way and rebooting.

Hi, could you try again using paplay instead of vlc? On irc upstream
pointed out that the card seems to be correctly detected (the second
device seems to be a midi interface), but VLC is causing lots of
rewinds.

I'm afraid I'm out of places to look at now. Could you please present
your problem at the upstream list
(pulseaudio-discuss@lists.freedesktop.org)?

I have recently uploaded a backport of pulseaudio 7.0 but it hasn't
been accepted yet. Then you might want to try if upgrading pulseaudio
to version 7 fixes your problem.
