Comment (by coling):
Incidentally I seem to be able to replicate this simply by running
{{{pulseaudio}}} as root under a {{{su}}} session:
{{{
[EMAIL PROTECTED] pulseaudio]$ ll -d /tmp/pulse-colin
drwx------ 2 colin colin 4096 2008-01-12 11:38 /tmp/pulse-colin/
[EMAIL PROTECTED] pulseaudio]$ su
Password:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] pulseaudio]# pulseaudio
W: main.c: This program is not intended to be run as root (unless --system
is specified).
E: pid.c: Daemon already running.
E: main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] pulseaudio]# ll -d /tmp/pulse-colin
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 2008-01-12 11:38 /tmp/pulse-colin/
}}}
So the whole autospawn thing is not specific to this problem but it
clearly makes it more likely to happen automatically.
NB passing -vvv didn't give any more useful info in the output.
