Description

I have running Pulseaudio system wide:

merkaba:~> grep -B1 SYSTEM /etc/default/pulseaudio

Geht nur richtig mit exit 0 am Anfang von /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-{kde,x11}

PULSEAUDIO_SYSTEM_START=1

Still I get system wide and session wide Pulseaudio daemons:

martin@merkaba:~> ps aux | grep pulse | grep -v grep pulse 1073 0.0 0.0 230828 3700 ? S<l Apr14 0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --system --daemonize --high-priority --log-target=syslog --disallow-module-loading=0 martin 2330 0.0 0.0 235048 5616 ? Sl Apr14 0:42 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start

I know I put "exit 0" at that of /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-{kde,x11}, but on update of Pulseaudio this is lost. I might be able to add a dpkg diversion on it. but I do think I shouldn´t have to be doing this.

Why do I use system-wide mode although it is not recommended? I have two user sessions. One my private, one my work one. The music is on the private one. And I like to hear music with ear phones at work at times. The pulseaudio on my private session stops playing when I switch to the work session.

I use Debian Sid with:
