The file is provided by pulseaudio-module-x11 but clearly that is a dead end. I've only had the chance to take a cursory look but looking at the output of ps egreshko 1189 890 0 08:25 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --daemonize=no and PID 890 is egreshko 890 1 0 08:23 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd --user So, it would seem that pulseaudio is started via systemd user. [egreshko@f32k ~]$ systemctl --user list-units | grep pulse pulseaudio.service loaded active running Sound Service pulseaudio.socket loaded active running Sound System I'd think that looking into how that is done may be worthwhile. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ kde mailing list -- kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kde-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
