>Can you tell me how to make it possible for julius to use my USB mic with PulseAsudio?

try your sound settings and make sure your usb device has been selected for sound input.

I have done that.  As you know, there is no /dev/dsp file in PulseAudio even though the USB mic works just fine in Google Voice, Skype, etc..

I did not know that...   :)

From this post: Installing Julian

padsp julius -iput mic -C julian.conf

Thank you for the information.

I tried the command but it did not work for me. 

"~/julius-3.5.2-quickstart-linux$ padsp julius -iput mic -C julian.conf
/usr/bin/padsp: 88: exec: julius: not found"

However, ~/julius-3.5.2-quickstart-linux$ padsp ./julian -input mic -C julian.jconf  seems to do something.

Unfortunately the output is very complex. I cannot see that my spoken words were recognized.

Wished the output was a little easier to understand.

>Unfortunately the output is very complex.

Did it look something like this?:

Thank you very much for taking the time to look at this and helping me learn.

I have posted my output to:

Does the output look OK to you?

a google search on: "adin_mic_read: no data fragment after 300 msec?"

returns the following posts:

Adding padsp in front of the command fixed that problem [...]I still got warnings though… [...] If you open the Sound Settings, the warnings go away.  I thought was kind of flakey, but it worked.

Pulseaudio seems to be an excellent way of dynamically redirecting audio in and out, I use it a lot. When running Julius it is important to have PA pointed to the right input device with others deactivated.
running my model with no padsp results in either a "failed to open device" if multiple inputs are seen by PA with no mic device in the PCI card or a <please speak> if PA has the PCI deactivated, USB activated but Julius never hears anything despite ALSA apparently set up.
padsp julius results in a <please speak> and eventually gets audio input, however there seem to be delays - it is essential to wait for the system to get itself set up before uttering the first input.
Julius is not happy with some wireless hardware setups.
