[CentOS] Pulseaudio pauses when switching virtual terminal?

2013-02-08 Thread James Pearson
When using CentOS6/Gnome any audio playback will pause if I switch to other virtual terminals - and resume when I switch back to X Does anyone know if it is possible to configure pulseaudio (or some other means?) to allow audio to continue playing when switching virtual terminals? Thanks Jame
