[pulseaudio-discuss] Equalizer on Pulseaudio with Multiseat Setup

[Shill Shocked]

Figured it out. I had to comment out start on runlevel [2345] in
/etc/init/pulseaudio.conf

qpaeq now works fine

I guess it loaded the daemon before the dbus-protocol, thus preventing it
from launching. Or something.
