Comment(by lennart):

 Hmm, I think checking for alternative servers should not need to take
 place in the pa daemon binary. Also, the start-pulseaudio-x11 script also
 checks whether $PULSE_SERVER is set.

 Configuration of non-local servers is completely orthogonal to running PA
 as system daemon, so I'd suggest fcussing on the latter only here. I think
 the checking in $PULSE_SERVER is completely adequate for checking if we
 run on thin clients.

 In summary: what I'd like to see being done here is simply some patch that
 when PA is run as session daemon refuses to start if a system daemon is
 already present. That should be reasonably simple to add. Happy to take
 patches.
