Well, to me this certainly is a lot better way to frame the question, as I can clearly understand your problem. I can see several potential answers for you, based on the rest of this thread: 1) copy the zonbu's ~guest/.pulse-cookie file to your home dir. (from Lennart's previous email, I havent tested this.) This looks to me like the best option. 2) ask your music player to directly use the alsa hw:0 device, and probably twiddle permissions on the /dev/snd/ files. 3) other... somebody else probably has something I havent thought of. -- Michael -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
