Linux HOW TO: Minimal Ubuntu 16.04 with Kodi, Steam & EmulationStation
#51
Hi there,

i have a solution for the pulseaudio-thing: (my user is named kodi!)

Code:
cp /etc/pulse/client.conf /home/kodi/.config/pulse
edit it:
Code:
nano /home/kodi/.config/pulse/client.conf
and change:
Code:
; autospawn = yes
to
Code:
autospawn = no

so pulseaudio won't start automatically and you have to start it before starting a program which need it.
This means Kodi uses ALSA for passthough-mode and bit-perfect-playback, but you can also start pulseaudio and use it for other applications.

cya

edit:

for Steam:

we need a startscript:
Code:
vi ~/steam_starter.sh
paste the following:
Code:
sleep 5
pulseaudio -D
sleep 5
steam -bigpicture
now edit:
Code:
vi  ~/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.program.advanced.launcher/launchers.xml
and change the <args> from Steam from:
Code:
<args>steam -bigpicture</args>
to:
Code:
<args>bash /home/kodi/steam_starter.sh</args>
