[opensuse-gnome] PulseAudio
Hello, After yesterdays meeting, I did some research on the Pulse Audio package. It looks like it may cause some issues for accessible log in. By some issues, I mean, it will break it.
From what I gather, Pulse Audio does not start until after log in therefore apps that use sound output at log in will not work.
Could anyone indicate if this is possible to get around? Thanks Darragh -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

I think Federico is maintaining this package for openSuse, so hopefully he'll chime in soon. I'm looking forward to what I have been hearing about it because supposedly it will provide a path to some much needed accessibility tools for hearing-impaired users. For which, today, there are none. However, Darragh is likely correct with where PulseAudio begins to come into play. I've been seeing some of the same comments on accessibility lists with other sound-based apps. Darragh, to better enlighten all of us in how accessibility is currently used, can you offer a brief description of how it currently works for you, how it should work for you but isn't, and maybe even a reference to what some of the other distros you have played with are doing? -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

I think we can start PA at system boot for all users. /me

Pulse audio is a per user daemon loaded on demand, it should be able to
run as the gdm user as well.
In fact sound in GDM does not work right now because resmgr does not
grant permissions to the gdm user:
