noooooooooooooooooo… erem…
I reboot and retest, but same result
Try to sudo nano ~/.pulse/client.conf and change the autospawn parameter to no (and remove the ;) if the file exists.
doesn’t exist :s it’s really frustrating this pulseaudio…
Nothing with just nano ~/.pulse/client.conf (no sudo) either ?
same result…
Why don’t you remove it with:
sudo apt remove pulseaudio
But I don’t know whether this will remove other packages you need.
Even better (but I’m repeating myself here): just install a Lite version of Raspberry Pi OS, which will save you a lot of time with debugging these problems 
I agree with what @koan said. Installing a Raspberry OS Lite with docker and running the docker run... command above should work directly…
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ps aux | grep pulse
pi 1690 0.0 0.0 7364 544 pts/0 S+ 17:24 0:00 grep --color=auto pulse
I understand but I can’t… for now if I do that, I can’t access anymore to my domoticz and, as a disabled, I need a lot of these thing…
If you succeed to disable PulseAudio (event temporarily to test), the aplay and arecord command should work as expected and Rhasspy should be able to capture and playback correctly (don’t forget to select the correct PCMs in Rhasspy’s config).
with my previous post, it works? is there any pulsaudio?
Ah… missed it… So now no more PulseAudio… Do the command to record and play work now?
in or out?
On the host for starter then in the container…
just try in for now :

This looks good. You should be able to configure RHasspy to listen with arecord on the “capture” device and playback on the default device now…
Hi @GraphiPerso, I’m glad to see that you are now on the way to solving this. 
@fastjack and @koan, many thanks for stepping in to help! I’ve leaned a lot from this thread myself.
arecord on capture but… no capture… on the previous log, there is a “writing error : error in/out” (don’t know if my translate is accurate…)
here is the log from web interface rhasspy :
