Yes, they seem to run as two different users as you suggested: ga@grzes:~$ ps -lA | grep pulse 1 S 115 2492 1 0 80 0 - 25937 ? ? 00:00:02 pulseaudio 1 S 1000 2636 1 0 69 -11 - 24618 - ? 00:00:00 pulseaudio
user 115 seems to be speech-dispatcher (what is this???) and 1000 is my account. after killing these two, the new process runs as me: grzes:/home/ga# killall pulseaudio grzes:/home/ga# ps -lA | grep pulse 1 S 1000 3145 1 0 69 -11 - 26414 - ? 00:00:00 pulseaudio (and the sound works). So what is this speech-dispatcher? Why is it running a dogdy instance of pulseaudio?
