hi This is precisely why I've been trying so hard to get brltty to speak on sonar. Instead of helping me fix it, the pulse audio people act like children, insisting it's not their bug. I did get luke yelavich, the guy in charge of accessibility at canonical to agree to fix this, but it involves changes to logind, brltty, and a few other projects. I am sick and tired of the "well it runs as root, so no sound for you" problem. It makes linux look bad and it embarrasses guys like me who are only trying to make a distro that new users, meaning inexperienced users, can pick up and use. This is not a brltty problem, so I am not criticizing you guys at all. It's just frustrating that the pulse audio guys are refusing to help me. Period. Something has got to be done in the short term. Running pulse audio in system mode does not fix the problem. I've already tried this. Thanks Kendell Clark
