+ The default configuration files allow to set up a working installation,
+ except that you need to remove a reference to Console-Kit if it is
+ not installed. For example, issue the following command as the
+ <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:
+ </para>
+
+<screen role="root"><userinput>sed '/load-module module-console-kit/s/^/#/' \
+ -i /etc/pulse/default.pa</userinput></screen>
+
+ <para>
+ You may also have to configure the audio system. You may start
+ <application>pulseaudio</application> in command line mode using
+ <command>pulseaudio -C</command>. You can then list various
+ informations and change some settings. See
+ <command>man pulse-cli-syntax</command>.
