It is intended to be an improved drop-in replacement -for the Enlightened Sound Daemon (ESOUND). - -Optional deps: sbc, jack-audio-connection-kit, avahi, lirc, libasyncns, orc - -Bluetooth support requires the optional sbc package (in addition to the -standard bluez package). - -USAGE: -In almost all cases, pulseaudio should be run as a normal user daemon -i.e. NOT a system wide daemon. It will be usually started by the desktop -environment (KDE, XFCE, MATE) when the user logs in. In general, there is -nothing more the user needs to do (configuration for particular devices or -circumstances notwithstanding). - -If necessary, pulseaudio may be started manually with: - /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11 - -In the EXTREMELY RARE case that pulseaudio needs to run as a system wide -daemon, the /etc/rc.d/rc.pulseaudio script is provided. It is not used at all -in the usual case, as above, in which pulseaudio runs as a normal user daemon. -Additionally, in the system wide daemon mode only, pulseaudio will need a -pulse group/user to run as. This may be done with: - groupadd -g 216 pulse - useradd -u 216 -g pulse -d /var/run/pulse -m pulse -See http://slackbuilds.org/uid_gid.txt for details on the uid/gid assignments. |
