Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pulseaudio

I have my home directory on an ntfs drive. fstab line for the ntfs drive is
UUID=DA103AC5103AA901 /windows        ntfs    
defaults,umask=022,uid=1001,gid=1001 0       1

Log in as user 1001

Login screen disappears, goes to ubuntu brown background, and just waits. Can 
still move mouse, but no visual progress on screen (waited several times more 
than one minute). Then run 
$ killall pulseaudio
from tty or from ssh from another computer, and then gnome loads, the panel 
appears, and everything (except for pulseaudio) works fine

Note that uninstalling pulseaudio (and everything related) lets me log in fine
Note that having my home directory on an ext3 drive works fine (sound works 
properly from pulseaudio too).
I also used an empty home folder for testing.

This kind of setup previously worked. On ubuntu hardy and intrepid,
pulseaudio performed fine on a home directory on an ntfs drive. Does not
work on jaunty

The .xsessions-errors give the following information about pulseaudio
I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE.
I: caps.c: Dropping root privileges.
I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE.
N: main.c: Called SUID root and real-time and/or high-priority scheduling was 
requested in the configuration. However, we lack the necessary privileges:
N: main.c: We are not in group 'pulse-rt', PolicyKit refuse to grant us the 
requested privileges and we have no increase RLIMIT_NICE/RLIMIT_RTPRIO resource 
limits.
N: main.c: For enabling real-time/high-priority scheduling please acquire the 
appropriate PolicyKit privileges, or become a member of 'pulse-rt', or increase 
the RLIMIT_NICE/RLIMIT_RTPRIO resource limits for this user.
E: core-util.c: Failed to create secure directory: Permission denied
W: lock-autospawn.c: Cannot access autospawn lock.
Terminated
 
The terminated is where I killed it, and everything else in the 
.xsessions-errors file looks fine

I have tried this setup on two laptops.
Happy to give more info.
