New comment by ericonr on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/23838#issuecomment-664020537 Comment: I get nearly the same error messages, but it seems to fallback to ALSA. I tested spotifyd with _only_ the portaudio backend, and if I disable the `sndiod` service, it occupies the ALSA device. I get most of those error messages in both cases, though. And also a weird looking one when exiting: `stream drop error: PortAudio not initialized`.
