        <pre>If a user does "pulseaudio --start -v" but a daemon already running, the
message "daemon startup successul" is issued. Imo, this is misleading because
the command actually did nothing: Since a daemon was found to already be
running, no action was taken. A message like "daemon already running" would be
more informative, and also more consistent with messages issued by other
daemons in similar situation.

For more detailed argument, see:
