            Bug ID: 95470
           Summary: Per-user pulseaudio dbus module fails on 2nd user
                    login
           Product: PulseAudio
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: modules
          Assignee: pulseaudio-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: rickfharris at yahoo.com.au
        QA Contact: pulseaudio-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

When per-user pulseaudio instance is started at xsession login, further login
by same user breaks pulseaudio from appearing on dbus.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Login to xsession
2. Open xterm and issue: ~ $ qdbus | grep -i pulse
    Expected output should be similar to:
 org.PulseAudio1
 org.pulseaudio.Server

3. Logout and back into xsession
4. Open xterm and issue: ~ $ qdbus | grep -i pulse
    No output, pulseaudio is not present on dbus

Unloading/loading the module-dbus-protocol using pactl does succeed but
unfortunately pulseaudio will still not appear on dbus.

Only workaround found so far is to pkill pulseaudio process and restart it at
each login by changing line in /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop from:
Exec=start-pulseaudio-x11
to be instead:
Exec=sh -c "pkill pulseaudio; start-pulseaudio-x11"

Thanks :)
