I just installed PA from source on Debian Jessie. I've done this several times on other systems. But for some reason, when starting PA, I am getting this error: E: [pulseaudio] core-util.c: Failed to create secure directory (/opt/pulseaudio/var/lib/pulse): Permission denied I am running as root, with --system, which for some reason seems to be related. Logs leading up to this: # /opt/pulseaudio/bin/pulseaudio --system --disallow-exit --disallow-module-loading=0 --high-priority -v W: [pulseaudio] main.c: Running in system mode, but --disallow-module-loading not set.
