Ah, there is some documentation information in /etc/default/pulseaudio - that makes me a lot happier. Not sure how I failed to notice that file.
So I also think this error was just my stupidity at editing that flag in init.d and not /etc/default/pulseaudio: > Setting PULSEAUDIO_SYSTEM_START=1 didn't make a difference for me, apart from > adding an error to syslog: > Jun 11 00:15:50 selidor pulseaudio[2665]: pid.c: Daemon already running. I notice ubuntu's init.d script has: > if [ "$PULSEAUDIO_SYSTEM_START" != "1" ]; then > log_warning_msg "PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions" > exit 0 > fi > pulseaudio_start () { instead of: > pulseaudio_start () { > test "$PULSEAUDIO_SYSTEM_START" != "1" && exit 0 which avoids most of the misleading behaviour I described. It also sets the "-p $pidfile" in the correct order in the status - perhaps we should copy their version?
