This is what's going on: I start a normal tty login in lets say tty2 then I run mplayer to reproduce an mp3 with pulse output which automatically starts the pulseaudio daemon. Then, on tty1 I start xinit (kde). When I close the xinit process (Ctrl+C on tty1) the pulse daemon also dies and my mplayer stops playing :( > >> PS: I don't want to use pulseaudio system-instance > > Good! > > Cheers, > > Tom >
