didn't work with pulseaudio 13.0 on Gentoo

[YangMame]

System: gentoo with unstable

mame@Laptop ~ $ pulseaudio --version
pulseaudio 13.0
mame@Laptop ~ $ tail -f /etc/pulse/default.pa 

# Bluetooth
.ifexists module-bluetooth-policy.so
load-module module-bluetooth-policy
.endif

.ifexists module-bluetooth-discover.so
load-module module-bluetooth-discover
.endif

mame@Laptop ~ $ LANG="en_US" pulseaudio --start
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed.

the pulseaudio-modules-bt ebuild in gentoo simply is missing a step to update the pa-submodule to the right version, so it's always compiled against pulseaudio v12.2 (which is checked out by default), that's why it segfaults

Need someone to issue a bug on https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/media-sound/pulseaudio-modules-bt.

Current workaround:

This way you can force checkout pulseaudio v13.0

# export EGIT_OVERRIDE_COMMIT_PULSEAUDIO_PULSEAUDIO=v13.0
# USE="dbus" emerge media-sound/pulseaudio media-sound/pulseaudio-modules-bt 

Pulseaudio v13 ebuild make dbus optional if bluetooth is unused but pulseaudio-modules-bt still requires it, therefore you need to append dbus USE flag to media-sound/pulseaudio

PS: I just booted Gentoo for the first time 6 hours ago...
