Firstly - thanks teeedubb. Awesome plugin and guides. Steam BPM launches perfectly.
I'm having an issue that I cant solve. Perhaps you can shed some light or point me in the right direction.
I have no sound in the games, but I do have sound in BPM. Steam reports "Unable to connect to audio service" in settings - audio.
Some info:
I am running Kodibuntu (Ubuntu 14.04) with Kodi 14.2. I have steam installed, using parts of your guide - openbox is installed and the steam xbox controller drivers are installed, as well as unclutter. I have sound in BPM but not in the games themselves - an issue I don't experience on my Fedora 21 laptop. The steam host is a Windows 7 64bit machine. Both host and client are "opted in" to the steam beta as I read this may resolve the issue, but it does not. I have also disabled the steam overlay on both, which makes the xbox controller more useful in games like audiosurf, but has no effect on the sound issue.
I have tried with PulseAudio installed and configured as per your guide, but then I have no sound at all - not in Kodi, BPM or games. I then modified the /etc/pulse/default.pa as described here (post by Temüjin) and have sound again - but it seems as if Alsa came back to life, and killed pulse audio as the kodi settings no longer show a pulse audio device, but rather the "old" alsa ones.
I am not a complete linux novice, and I apologise if you have covered this before, but I would really appreciate some help. I'd be happy to run any and all diagnostics you would like me to perform.
Some more (possibly unrelated) info - the Kodibuntu machine is connected to a TV (obviously) but I have the optical of the box connected to my amplifier - before I started this process, I was able to launch chrome and watch streams with sound coming through the optical - now its only through the HDMI to the TV. Also, if i try and kill kodi - its comes back to life immediately. Only if I exit kodi in the power menu does it stay dead, but I still have no sound in games if I launch steam independently.
Any ideas or suggestions as to where to go from here would be greatly appreciated.
