 Replying to [comment:41 lennart]:
 > What is missing now to close this bug is that it also checks whether a
 system wide daemon is running. Adding that should be relatively easy.

 What kind of logic did you have in your mind? Is checking for the default
 socket file existence enough? The system-wide daemon could be configured
 to listen on some different socket file, or only TCP connections could be
 allowed. A simple default socket file check might make sense anyway, but
 it seems to me that generally it's better to just clearly document somehow
 that if you're enabling the system-wide mode, then disable the start-
 pulseaudio-x11 script (or any other system for starting per-user daemons
 automatically).
