I'm wondering if you might be able to use systemd user sessions along with the xorg-launch-helper [1] and user-session-units [2] since you may need some dbus magic for PulseAudio to work. I am using this along with PulseAudio for my F19 MythTV frontends with great success (I use it to be able to auto-switch from speaker output to bluetooth headset output when everyone else is trying to sleep). Aside from the xorg-launch-helper package, which I package here [3], I have manually created some of the files from the user-session-units, which I don't yet package. Those are below: # # dbus.service [Unit] Description=D-Bus System Message Bus Requires=dbus.socket [Service] ExecStart=/bin/dbus-daemon --session --address=systemd: --nofork --systemd- activation ExecReload=/usr/bin/dbus-send --print-reply --session --type=method_call -- dest=org.freedesktop.DBus / org.freedesktop.DBus.ReloadConfig # # dbus.socket [Unit] Description=D-Bus System Message Bus Socket [Socket] ListenStream=%t/dbus/user_bus_socket # # example spicec.service [Unit] Description=spicec service After=network.target [Service] ExecStart=/usr/bin/spicec (some parameters) Restart=on-failure [Install] WantedBy=mythfrontend.target # # example spicec.target [Unit] Description=spicec target Wants=xorg.target Requires=dbus.socket #After=network.target AllowIsolate=true And I have PulseAudio set to autospawn: # /etc/pulse/client.conf ... autospawn = yes ... There's a little more service/unit file help I can give if you think this might be a way for you to resolve the issue. -A [1] https://github.com/sofar/xorg-launch-helper [2] https://github.com/sofar/user-session-units [3] http://messinet.com/rpms -- Anthony - http://messinet.com - http://messinet.com/~amessina/gallery 8F89 5E72 8DF0 BCF0 10BE 9967 92DC 35DC B001 4A4E
