what is problem? and how to use PulseAudioOSX?

can you give me an example to use it?

just in case Google brought you here. To use pulseaudio in mac, comment out module-detect part in default.pa. I'm using brew, so it's located at /usr/local/etc/pulse/default.pa

and then run pulseaudio as usual

@neofreko Thanks :)

That worked for me to. Excellent suggestion @neofreko. Though I have not heard audio yet. But I have come further along.
