It seems that Xen has at some point broken backwards compatibility. I can reproduce the error with libxen version 4.8.0~rc5-1 (Debian testing). I have no idea when the build has stopped working, because I've always been built PulseAudio without Xen support.

Marking as a release blocker.

Do you actually use module-xenpv-sink? If not, you can pass --disable-xen to the configure script to disable it.

The plan is to remove module-xenpv-sink in the next release. According to the module author, it's likely not being used by anyone[1]. Of course, if you're using it, we need a new plan.

Thanks. Shall do that.

No I'm not using it directly. It gets build because that's how JHBuild has been configured by default. I don't know if any JHBuild module have a dependency on this specific feature.

Thanks
