Backtrace Pulseaudio
Can someone provide me with the exact instructions I need to backtrace pulseaudio? I have a bug that a developer is asking me to do a backtrace and the instructions on the ubuntu site aren't very good. I tried exactly what it said and my problem is that it says to "run the program under gdb by doing
gdb pulseaudio 2>&1 | tee ~/gdb-pulseaudio.txt
unfortunately pulseaudio isn't actually starting when I do this (I kill the program before I do this command, I also add the appropriate text file so pulse doesn't auto restart). Not sure what's going on but I'd appreciate any help as I can't get sound out of HDMI (I get it but it dies out fast). Thanks!Bodhi 1.3 & Bodhi 1.4 using E17

I'm not much of a debugger but you do have gdb installed, correct? I don't think the program is actually supposed to start but rather run through the debugger (gdb) and post the output to ~/gdb-pulseaudio.txt. Do you have that file?? That may be all you need to report.

Try this tutorial, of course you need to substitute Pulseaudio for the example they use.
Good Luck
