Hi. Bug #433654 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/433654) is about audio not working properly on karmic and lucid when multiple users are used (one user gets to the audio device first and no one else can use it). Eventually it was figured out that if users aren't part of the audio group and consolekit is installed everything works properly. However, the defaults for a desktop user and an administrator users is to have them in the audio group which causes this problem. However, if consolekit isn't installed, you have to be part of the audio group to play sound. However, ubuntu-desktop depends on consolekit so it is rather reasonable to assume that it will be installed. So, to fix the bug, should the default administrator and desktop users be removed from the audio group? (This was basically asked at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+question/103004 , but it hasn't been answered yet, and I doubt the people who would know the answer have seen it.) Thanks, Erik B. Andersen
