Public bug reported:
On my Kubuntu desktop machine, I'm running Firefox as a different user
for security reasons. Since Firefox has dropped support for ALSA, I no
longer have sound in Firefox.
The actual bug is that (a) Pulseaudio doesn't accept connection from
other users, or (b) Pulseaudio isn't supposed to be run by root.
Note that the workaround of creating a socket does not work in my
machine;
/etc/pulse/default.pa:
load-module module-native-protocol-unix auth-anonymous=1
socket=/tmp/ff-pulse-socket
/etc/pulse/client.conf:
default-server = unix:/tmp/ff-pulse-socket
Using this workaround, pavucontrol shows a sound stream by Firefox and
shows sound for line out, but no audio is heard.
Audio for the logged-in user works fine.
