If I understand this correctly, this would entail runnning pulseaudio as a user service. But this does not seem to work reliably: I have not succeeded in having services started by systemd talk to the dbus started by the X session. But perhaps I'm doing something wrong, and with too old a stack (systemd 208, dbus 1.8.4). -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler
