Pulseaudio doesn't enable system-wide mode by itself. You (or some other utility) would have to edit your global /etc/pulse/daemon.conf file and change the "system-instance" setting to yes. If all you did was manually run "pulseaudio -vvv", that should not have changed any settings. Simply kill any running pulseaudio servers (e.g. with a "sudo killall pulseaudio") and let the auto-spawn service re-launch pulse. Or just reboot the computer. --Sean
