I just tried a little experiment. In my Mate session, I opened a terminal window, became root, and played an mp3 file using mplayer. Then I hit Ctl-Alt-F2 to exit to a console, logged in as root, and tried to play the same file using mplayer. No go.Pulse audio unable to connect. Same results logging in at the console as myself, becoming root, and trying to play the file. However, logged in as myself at the console, I the file did play.
