Comment(by Rudd-O):
Just so you know I'm not making baseless assertions here:
For example, you say:
"Default pulse install.
No system wide daemon configured/running.
Modified system wide client.conf to point at a remote server.
User's own client.conf which does not set a default server.
When that user logs in, they user will have their own pulseaudio daemon
autospawned, however this daemon will not be registered with the x11
session as start-pulseaudio-x11 will not have been run meaning that:
SSHing to another machine and playing sound will not work.
"
This first criticism is INVALID, since if the administrator has access to,
and has defined a default-client in client.conf, it's clearly a machine
under control of someone knowledgeable, clearly not a home machine we're
talking about and the administrator can govern policy in the network and
cope with this "breakage" which is really just an esoteric complaint.
"The daemon will die after a period of inactivity and be respawned again
later. This is unneeded and pointless overhead."
Why would it be respawned, or even started in the first place, when
clients HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED TO CONTACT ANOTHER SERVER? Don't you read
your own autospawning code?
Yet another invalid criticism on your part.
So, baseless complaints against my patch = 2.
