Pulse will start via two ways normally:
1. It will autospawn itself when the user runs an app that wants to use
pulse and will die after a period of inactivity.
2. It will be started at X11 login via an XDG compliant .desktop file
and remain for the duration of the X11 session.
This is how I thought it should work. Thanks for the confirmation.
I had tried this, but pulse never started. I will try again, this
time paying attention to the permissions.
Depending on the use case for the project your working on, you can do
one of two things:
1. Just use the autospawn system if the user playing audio is local to
your machine.
2. Create a system service script that runs pulseaudio at boot and
keeps it there (e.g. disable the automatically dying part!) dropping
privs first to your user so that root is not involved. (su -c
"pulseaudio" or similar).
I'm doing this now, however, I'm running in system mode. I will
try and drop from root to pulseaudio user without system mode and
see how that goes.
Thanks Col!
