Hi,
We have a bug[1], which inspired this question: who needs
module-x11-xsmp? We load it in start-pulseaudio-x11. Its purpose is to
prevent PulseAudio from automatically shutting itself down during the X
session.
Actually, in /etc/pulse/default.pa it says "Register ourselves with the
X11 session manager", but this is to save/restore settings protocol [1],
and I don't think we save/restore any settings through it.
That same task is handled also by module-systemd-login and
module-console-kit. Is module-x11-xsmp completely redundant, or is it
used in environments where systemd-login and ConsoleKit aren't
available? Solaris perhaps?

I can't find a good use case for it either. Perhaps custom/embedded
usages, where you have an X Server but not consolekit/systemd-logind?
I'd say let's drop it from start-pulseaudio-x11 for either 4.0 or 5.0,
but keep building it for now. Makes sense?
