I don't believe so. $ grep system /etc/pulse/daemon.conf /etc/pulse/daemon.conf:; system-instance = no /etc/pulse/daemon.conf:; shm-size-bytes = 0 # setting this 0 will use the system-default, usually 64 MiB I would assume that pulse should be running as 'mzagrabe' and I ought to give some permissions to user mpd? Or what is the best way to rectify this?
