Yes, one bug tracking this is #864829.

audio group membership

2017-07-03 Thread Scott Leggett 
Hi,

While I was investigating #864829, I noticed that my user is a member of
the audio group. I checked, and this is also the case on a default
desktop installation:

  $ grep audio /etc/group
  audio:x:29:scott,pulse

According to the upstream pulseaudio wiki "Perfect Setup" page [0],
Debian falls into distro group 2, which means that no non-system users
should be members of the audio group.

Is there a bug here? Should the default desktop user be in the audio
group?

That wiki page also mentions ConsoleKit, so it's at least a little
outdated..

Bug#864829: screen reader stops speaking

2017-07-03 Thread Scott Leggett 
Hi,

I've been able to reproduce this bug. A not-very-helpful workaround is
to restart espeakup whenever sound goes missing.

I've dug into the issue a bit and found it discussed on
pulseaudio-discuss back in 2010. The discussion on the thread seems to
indicate that espeakup and pulseaudio couldn't coexist at the time due
to espeakup not being multi-seat aware. Lennart summarised what needs to
be done to get them working together[0].

I'm not sure what the situation is now. Looking briefly at espeakup
upstream [1], it doesn't seem to be very active, so maybe the situation is
the same?

If a package really does recommend other packages which are useless, you
should file a bug on that package, not just start blindly using
--no-install-recommends everywhere.

The relationship between pulseaudio and pulseaudio-module-udev matches
the Policy description of the Recommends field.

Given that this appears to be a firmware issue, and the original request
for an updated package has been addressed, I'll close this bug report.

A newer version of pulseaudio is now available in jessie-backports. Does
it fix your issue?

It seems that the pulseaudio package 7+ includes a systemd user unit. I
installed the package from backports, disabled XDG autostart, and
enabled the systemd service:

  $ ln -s /dev/null ~/.config/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop
  $ systemctl --user enable pulseaudio

Logging out and back in again spawned the service as expected.

By doing this we could disable autospawn by default and rely on systemd
to handle the pulseaudio service.

Any thoughts on this solution?
