Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/issues/180

When starting playback, I get the error Could not write audio: Invalid argument. Other audio sources such as mopidy or kodi do work. I use pulseaudio as backend. Below is what I get calling librespot (See this file for the output with -v option)

[marcel@NAS ~]$ librespot --name nas
INFO:librespot: librespot 8e0d758 (2018-02-26). Built on 2018-02-26. Build ID: BFjJS6fG
INFO:librespot_core::session: Connecting to AP "gew1-accesspoint-b-kd8g.ap.spotify.com:4070"
INFO:librespot_core::session: Authenticated as "xxxx" !
INFO:librespot_core::session: Country: "DE"
INFO:librespot_playback::player: Loading track "The Underworld"
INFO:librespot_playback::player: Track "The Underworld" loaded
ERROR:librespot_playback::player: Could not write audio: Invalid argument

SW versions in use:

linux kernel 4.15.6
pulseaudio 11.1
rust 1.24

It's probably me being too stupid to get it running. Any help would be appreciated.

Try disabling option "keep audio sink alive" in Kodi.

I didn't hear any audio output before since I wasn't in the audio group, arghs. I noticed this by doing pacmd list-sinks, which only showed a dummy output.
So this is a duplicate of #158 now. I have the exact same symptoms.
