I would think the daemon is per-session, not per-user, given that (until systemd --user works) we cannot track user stuff across sessions. But the core reason this patch is applied is that if pa is shutdown after alsa, pa will store a volume of 0 (as alsa shutdown mutes all the cards), so on reboot you have a 0 volume desktop. I think this is a worse outcome than the alternative, as it is terrible for accesibility. -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler
