#606: [PATCH] pulseaudio systemwide is a pain
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
  Reporter:  Rudd-O  |       Owner:  lennart
      Type:  defect  |      Status:  new    
 Milestone:          |   Component:  clients
Resolution:          |    Keywords:         
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------

Comment(by Rudd-O):

 "Remember the library does not see the system client.conf at all. Doen't
 check for it, doesn't open it, doesn't read it. The contents are
 irrelevant."

 FALSE.  The client.conf is checked by the library.

 Someone needs to learn how to use strace before making baseless claims.
