Bug#662049: phonon: There is no sound at all - audio device is greyed out in configuration
Yes, they seem to run as two different users as you suggested:
ga@grzes:~$ ps -lA | grep pulse
1 S 115 2492 1 0 80 0 - 25937 ? ? 00:00:02 pulseaudio
1 S 1000 2636 1 0 69 -11 - 24618 - ? 00:00:00 pulseaudio
user 115 seems to be speech-dispatcher (what is this???) and 1000 is my account.
after killing these two, the new process runs as me:
grzes:/home/ga# killall pulseaudio
grzes:/home/ga# ps -lA | grep pulse
1 S 1000 3145 1 0 69 -11 - 26414 - ? 00:00:00 pulseaudio
(and the sound works). So what is this speech-dispatcher? Why is it
running a dogdy instance of pulseaudio?
