<br>
I run a user in a desktop environment (KDE5) that starts pulseaudio.<br>
<br>
I´d like to grant other users on the same machine access in order to run<br>
audio applications from a terminal with those users. And I would like to<br>
achieve this using Unix sockets.<br>
<br>
Some web sites suggst to try this:<br>
<br>
client.conf=><br>
<br>
default-server = unix:/tmp/pulse-server<br>
<br>
<a href="http://default.pa" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">default.pa</a>=><br>
<br>
load-module module-native-protocol-unix auth-group=audio \<br>
auth-anonymous=1 socket=/tmp/pulse-server<br>
<br>
That doesn´t work correctly. Actually the terminal users get access to<br>
the main pulseaudio process, but, the main user, logged into KDE does<br>
not get sound, though he started the pulseaudio daemon.<br>
<br>
All users are in group audio. And there´s no bogus<br>
$HOME/.config/pulse/{client.conf,<a href="http://default.pa" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">default.pa</a>} files either.<br>
<br>
I´m using pulseaudio version 11.1 with kernel 5.4.7<br>
<br>
Thanks for any hint!<br>
