pulseaudio is currently built with option: --disable-systemd-daemon Disable optional systemd daemon (socket activation) support I've not had the time to investigate/test enabling this feature yet, but opening this bug to track such efforts.
%changelog * Fri May 06 2016 Rex Dieter <rdieter> - 8.0-7 - use %%tests macro, enable systemd socket activation (#1265720) Tested mostly harmless, I don't think it's used by default, and doesn't seem to interfere with pulseaudio's own autospawn behavior
