Well I'm still reading that "pulseaudio in normal user mode will allow only the active session as marked by ConsoleKit to access the audio hardware." So it would seem that you'd have to run pulseaudio as a system-wide instance for this to work (sound for your regular user and root through pulseaudio, configured by each with pavucontrol). > Thanks, > > Rodolfo > > -- “Yeah yeah.” --Sidney Morgenbesser's retort to a speaker who said that although there are many cases in which two negatives make a positive, he knew of no case in which two positives made a negative.
