 I have PulseAudio running as a system-wide daemon. The rationale for this
 is the presence of two users and a system-wide MPD daemon. The users
 should be able to control MPD and change its volume or redirect streams
 through PulseAudio.

 pacmd doesn't seem to work in this setup. It does work if a user runs his
 own pulsedaemon and connects to that, but not the system-wide one. The
 user is in all three pulse* groups and the PID file is accessible.

 Error:[[BR]]
