Typos only?

w->setConnectingMessage(QObject::tr("Connection to PulseAudio failed. Automatic retry in 5s.<br><br>"

I stumbled opon those while updating translations, it is new but probably nobody has updated translations for a long time, it has 3 typos and I'm not sure if this text is really ok. The command mentioned, and "root window" sounds strange to me but pulseaudio is not my thing.

@palinek any clue about that text?

Connection to PulseAudio failed. Automatic retry in 5s.

In this case this is likely because PULSE_SERVER in the Environment/X11 Root Window Propertiesor default-server in client.conf is misconfigured.
This situation can also arrise when PulseAudio crashed and left stale details in the X11 Root Window.
If this is the case, then PulseAudio should autospawn again, or if this is not configured you shouldrun start-pulseaudio-x11 manually.

I think we should drop all this text after "retry in 5s". 'start-pulseaudio-x11 ' doesn't exist anywhere.

I agree. At best it's confusing, but it may also give wrong info.

It is the same text as present in original pavucontrol and is there from day-1 after PCMan made the port to Qt. It would be probably better to raise the issue upstream, wait and follow for their decision.
