How to work with respeaker in pulse mode?

[rodionov12]

Hello! Please, describe how to use respeakerd in pulse mode?

I'm trying to code home assistant using another STT vendor (not Amazon). For interconnection with respeakerd I need to use pulseaudio output channel. How to do this?
I'm trying to look at Google Home Assistant example, but D-Bus doesn't working. My steps:
1. Enable D-Bus for all messages and paths

Code: Select all

cat /etc/dbus-1/system.d/io.respeaker.respeakerd.conf
<busconfig>
  <policy context="default">
    <!-- Allow everything to be sent -->
    <allow send_destination="*" eavesdrop="true"/>
    <!-- Allow everything to be received -->
    <allow eavesdrop="true"/>
    <!-- Allow anyone to own anything -->
    <allow own="*"/>
    <!-- XXX: Allow all users to connect -->
    <allow user="*"/>
  </policy>
</busconfig>

2. Listening d-bus for info:

Code: Select all

dbus-monitor --system
signal time=1540817661.428186 sender=:1.29 -> destination=(null destination) serial=3 path=/io/respeaker/respeakerd; interface=respeakerd.signal; member=respeakerd_ready
signal time=1540817800.946534 sender=:1.32 -> destination=(null destination) serial=5 path=/io/respeaker/respeakerd; interface=respeakerd.signal; member=ready

And there is nothing:

Code: Select all

get d-bus connection ...

it detects hotword, but never calls event in d-bus. googlesamples-assistant-respeakerd doesn't show any information in console, even in debug logging level.

How can I find "respeakerd_output" in pulse sources? I'm using pactl list but there is nothing with such name
