Lightdm starts pulse for its own use (at least) and indeed when lightdm
runs, pulse runs with
lightdm authority. So one could assume that this is irrelevant. When you
login
to CDE with lightdm you can see pulse running with lightdm authority for
a few seconds and
then the process disappears, and no process with name containing "pulse"
exists.

BUT if I start a sound application (say vlc) I see that pulseaudio gets
started with user authority.

In pstree it appears as

     |-pulseaudio-+-gconf-helper
     |            `-2*[{pulseaudio}]

as a child of init.


So what gets wrong when CDE is started by dtlogin? When dtlogin starts
CDE (from boot: get to lightdm screen, switch to console,
stop lightdm, start dtlogin, and login to CDE)
vlc looks working (you can see it plays the sound) but no sound is
produced and no pulse process exists.

Does it work to anybody? Is it my PC problem maybe? Or something blocks
pulse from starting?
