Hi all,
I use speech output for reading the screen. Currently, I'm using espeak
compiled to use portaudio. Whenever I switch consoles, I have to wait a few
seconds for audio output to resume. I understand that ConsoleKit is
responsible for the delay while it figures out if I'm the same user and
should be allowed to use the audio device.
If anyone knows how to disable this behavior, or knows fore sure that
ConsoleKit can't be configured to accomplish this, I'd really like to hear
about it. With respect, what I don't need to hear about is how desirable
folks think the current behavior is and how I should learn to love it too.
Pulseaudio won't help either, until it can be made to run system-wide.
TIA.

For anyone who runs into this in the future, I found a clumsy
workaround. After logging into all the consoles and the GUI, one can just
do: killall console-kit-daemon. Something restarts it, but without the
ugly behavior. If a console is accidentally logged out of and then logged
back in, it's just necessary to re-kill the troublesome daemon.
Hope this helps someone.
