Wonder why Ubuntu went for system wide? ... </blockquote></div> In my standard Intrepid (8.10), there is a system wide pulseaudio loader on init.d, but the default action is to avoid loading of pulseaudio system-wide. There is a switch in /etc/default/pulseaudio that disallows system-wide loading with a very strong warning against it:: # Start the PulseAudio sound server in system mode. # (enables the pulseaudio init script) # System mode is not the recommended way to run PulseAudio as it has some # limitations (such as no shared memory access) and could potentially allow # users to disconnect or redirect each others audio streams. The # recommend way to run PulseAudio is as a per-session daemon. For GNOME # sessions you can install pulseaudio-esound-compat and GNOME will # automatically start PulseAudio on login (if ESD is enabled in # System->Preferences->Sound). For other sessions, you can simply start # PulseAudio with "pulseaudio --daemonize". # 0 = don't start, 1 = start PULSEAUDIO_SYSTEM_START=0 -- A. C.
