Hi all, In the "PA 10 : paplay can't connect !" thread I noticed worrying netstat output: [video at sixcore ~]$ netstat -l -x -p | grep pulse (Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info  will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.) unix 2     [ ACC ]    STREAM    LISTENING    51237 7388/pulseaudio     /tmp/.esd-501/socket unix 2     [ ACC ]    STREAM    LISTENING    26773   -        /run/user/0/pulse/native unix 2     [ ACC ]    STREAM    LISTENING    40938   7362/systemd /run/user/501/pulse/native It looks like systemd manages also root login sessions, and it creates the pulseaudio socket for root. Presumably pulseaudio would get started if some application tried to access the socket. When using the traditional autospawning mechanism, we don't start pulseaudio for root, and that's how it should be also in the systemd socket activation case. Does anyone have ideas about how we could prevent systemd from creating the socket for root by default? -- Tanu https://www.patreon.com/tanuk
