The host which has the audio hardware (device nodes owned by 'root:audio') is where I want the PulseAudio daemon started, so that I can play sound to it from the host where my normal user session is running. I'm interested in PulseAudio because I thought this situation was exactly what the client-server architecture of PulseAudio was designed for. Am I wrong? > When running as a per-user daemon, all it takes to enable real-time > scheduling is to put the user to pulse-rt group There's no per-user daemon on the host with the audio hardware, because the user doesn't log into that host. If I'm wrong in any of the above information, I'd love to get better information. -- \ "[...] a Microsoft Certified System Engineer is to information | `\ technology as a McDonalds Certified Food Specialist is to the | _o__) culinary arts." ?Michael Bacarella | Ben Finney
