There's no need to apologize. As for the root problem I don't believe it
is a problem in the sense you mean it (I think). pulseaudio is not
intended to be run as root (that's what I'm reading on the innertubes). As
usual my understanding of the whole kaboodle is quite fragile, however. Also
I believe pulseaudio is configured per-useredly. IOW you'd have to
configure it for root in order for it to work (for root). Maybe.
Unless you're not using pulseaudio, in which case...
Now you see who's stupid.
