Bug ID: 273605
Summary: audio/pulseaudio: Daemon startup failed in system-wide
mode
Product: Ports & Packages
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: Individual Port(s)

Description:
I have written a small rc script to run pulseaudio in system-wide mode using
the following parameters (see Output). After upgrading pulseaudio a few weeks
ago I noticed that pulseaudio cannot be started again in system-wide mode. I
didn't have time at that time to test some things to get more information so I
haven't reported it until today.
Note: I know that running pulseaudio in system-wide mode is not recommended
except in some cases.
Output:
```
# pulseaudio -D --system --disallow-module-loading --disallow-exit
N: [(null)] main.c: Running in system mode, forcibly disabling SHM mode.
N: [(null)] main.c: Running in system mode, forcibly disabling exit idle time.
E: [(null)] main.c: Daemon startup failed.
# tail -3 /var/log/messages
Sep 6 14:57:17 dtxdf-test pulseaudio[19404]: [(null)] main.c: Home directory
of user 'pulse' is not '/var/local/run/pulse', ignoring.
Sep 6 14:57:17 dtxdf-test pulseaudio[19404]: [(null)] caps.c: Normally all
extra capabilities would be dropped now, but that's impossible because
PulseAudio was built without capabilities support.

create secure directory (/var/local/lib/pulse): Permission denied
