Hello,
I have a couple of computers which are "headless" nodes. I run the pulseaudio
sound server
on them for network audio, however, no user ever logs in. Because of this, I am forced to
run the pulseaudio server in system mode. I know of all the reasons which I shouldn't be
using system mode. Is there some other means I can run these "headless"
machines to use
pulseaudio without system mode? How can I fake the the system out such that
they think
a user is logged in? I haven't yet figured out how pulseaudio auto starts on a
system
which a user logged into gnome. I realize it has something to do with
esdcompat, however,
I don't understand the hook into gnome itself.
Both of these headless nodes run a streamlined version of Fedora 10. They
don't run
all the typcical services which a login node would run. For example, they don't
run
"dbus", but they could. I'm not sure which services matter to pulse.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jim
