Hi,

Been trying to get pulseaudio to do what I want in a multiseat configuration.

I have multiseat X working correctly, and both users are in the same room, so would like
the sound for both users to come out my single set of speakers.   I have however,
been having some trouble getting pulseaudio/ConsoleKit/policykit to do what I want.

Has anyone setup something like this before in Mageia 2?

My current problem is, that whoever logs in first gets the sound card, and the
other user gets a pulseaudio dummy server.   I have found a few different
blog posts, some recommending running pulseaudio --system.   This however
seems more difficult than it should be, and when I try, I get the error:

Failed to acquire org.pulseaudio.Server: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Connection ":1.683" is not allowed to own the service "org.pulseaudio.Server" due to security policies in the configuration file

I think this is because I might need to add something to /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/

but, I am not sure exactly what, or how this works.

Suggestions would be welcome. 

Regards
