Hi, http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=36643 The above bug report highlights a sequence of events that cause the /tmp/pulse-$USER folder to become owned by root. This results in $USER being unable to play sound. Basically start pulse as $USER and check perms on /tmp/pulse-$USER folder. su to root and start nautilus and permissions on /tmp/pulse-$USER change to root. Not I've not yet been able to reproduce this myself but will try and work out what's going on. Just thought I'd mention it here in case anyone else has had a similar problem. I know we discussed on IRC about a problem where /tmp/pulse-$USER was owned by root so I think there could be some milage in this principle even if I can't replicate it yet.... Col
