I like to install a command line system from the alternate cd and then use a simple window manager like jwm. I was wondering if anyone knows how to get pulse working in a situation like that.

I booted the live DVD and audio does work on my intel imac. I looked to see what all was installed when I ran:


sudo aptitude search pulseaudio

Which gave:
gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio
pulsaudio
pulsaudio-esound-compat
pulsaudio-module-gconf
pulsaudio-module-hal
pulsaudio-module-x11
pulsaudio-utils

I installed all that and exaile and all its dependencies but still no sound. Thanks.

Did you start the daemon?
