How should gdm be starting its own pulseaudio process?
I've had an issue since upgrading from Fedora 14 to Fedora 16 in that
after a while, and not on any trigger I've yet identified, my
/var/log/messages starts filling up with:
pulseaudio[pid]: protocol-native.c: Denied access to client with invalid
authorization data.
.. adding a new one every few *seconds*!
I believe I've finally pinned this down to the gdm-owned
gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-shell processes trying to talk to *my*
pulseaudio daemon (via the lo interface over TCP).
On my laptop, which has a fresh install of F16, I see there's a
gdm-owned pulseaudio started as soon as the login screen appears.
There's no such process on my desktop.
So how should this process be started? What might be preventing it?
I presume just starting one for gdm after the event won't help as
those 2 processes won't have the environment variables to tell them how
to talk to it (I'm *guessing* that they currently already don't, and are
falling back to the pulseaudio port on localhost, which happens to be
mine pulseaudio process in this case).
