Paprefs AirTunes option grayed out

[eater]

I have compiled pulseaudio-raop2 on Ubuntu 15.04.

But the checkbox for "Make discoverable Apple AirTunes sound devices available locally" is grayed out when I launch paprefs.

When I start pulseaudio-raop2, it plays audio fine, but the log does say:

(   0.179|   0.000) D: [lt-pulseaudio] module.c: Checking for existence of '/usr/local/src/pulseaudio-raop2/src/module-gconf.so': success
(   0.180|   0.000) E: [lt-pulseaudio] module-gconf.c: Unable to read or parse data from client.
(   0.180|   0.000) E: [lt-pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load module "module-gconf" (argument: ""): initialization failed.

And no options appear in the Sound control except my built-in speakers.

How should I proceed? I read through issue #10 but I can't find a solution there.

I had a similar problem. For me the problem was that I didn't have the raop module installed.

sudo apt install pulseaudio-module-raop 

Once I did that, the AirTunes option was no longer grayed out. Maybe something like that would help you, too?

If anyone is comming here with that Issue check https://askubuntu.com/questions/1324297/cant-enable-make-discoverable-pulseaudio-network-sound-devices-available-local

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/pulse-13.99.1 /usr/lib/pulse-13.99 could be the solution
