[pulseaudio-discuss] system-wide daemon

[Bill Cox]

I did that originally.  The problem is that I'm building Vinux ISOs on
Ubuntu using remastersys, and I'd have to modify ubiquity to change
the default user groups.  The result is that after isntalling Vinux,
Orca doesn't come up talking.  Now, I may go modify ubiquity, but I'm
more familiar now with PA than ubiquity, and I took a shortcut.
Long-term, I'll probably figure out how to change ubiquity to change
default user groups.  However, since all real users and root will be
in the pulse-access group by default, it wont add much in the way of
security.
