Description Rudd-O DragonFear 2009-05-09 02:09:28 UTC

Description of problem:

PA fails to detect bluez audio devices -- the nego proceeds through dbus, and dbus rejects messages from the pulse user.  this is a pretty big oversight.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

latest 0.9.15-11 RPM

How reproducible:

always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. start pa as system mode
2. presto, bluetooth does not work

Comment 1 Lennart Poettering 2009-05-10 13:26:49 UTC

On Fedora we configure PA for session mode for various reasons. We don't support system mode.

Also your bug is unrelated to PA, it seems as if bluez disallows access to the pulse user.
