So this actually is appropriate. Not sure we flush state data on each session termination though... and even though we're using pulseaudio in one of the use-cases appropriate for system mode, there's no way to turn off the warning. We could potentially rewrite some things and actually start per-user pulseaudio daemons since we tend to actually have a local user (due to localapps or fatclients), but LTSP5 is essentially in maintenance mode, and would rather move major feature development towards LTSP6... Some experiencies after testing: I 've been trying out sound on local apps on thin clients, and passed on some pulseaudio arguments, like: ltsp-localapps pulseaudio -nC, as well as ltsp-localapps pulseaudio -nF pulseaudio.pa as well as some others. The results are strange.... If I start with VLC, directly after the newly booted client, and ltsp-localapps pulseaudio -nC: ltsp-localapps vlc: VLC recieving dvb streams from my TV-server(mumudvb) doesn't play any sound, though it displays that sound is in the stream, and it lets me choose the local sound device to use(Just a note: This works perfect on a normal workstation). If I start with google-chrome, and youtube, directly after the newly booted client, and ltsp-localapps pulseaudio -nC: It seem to work fine with the sound, though the video quality is not fine. If I start VLC AFTER I started google-chrome/youtube where the sound is already working, sound is actually working on vlc as well, though NOT in all channels...!?!!? When I switched channel on vlc and sound stops to work, it also stops to work on google-chrome/youtube...as well as the video on youtube is starting to hang, and it seems to hang after 7 seconds, all the time. After that, I can not kill local pulseaudio and get it to work again. So, I don't really know what I'm doing here, just doing experiments, and reports back to list. But any hints here would be appreciated, and a strategy for solving this would be fine! I am also reading this on the pulseaudion site, about systemwide: "There is only a single namespace for cached sound samples, i.e. there can be only a single Gnome event sound profile active at the same time" Anyone care to explain the consequencies of that?
