[Pkg-pulseaudio-devel] Bug#462422: /usr/bin/pulseaudio: Real-time complaints in the log file

[Johan Walles]

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 0.9.8-2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/pulseaudio


I get this in /var/log/messages every time pulseaudio is started with my GNOME session:

"
Jan 24 19:13:30 foo pulseaudio[3484]: main.c: Called SUID root and real-time/high-priority scheduling was requested in the 
configuration. However, we lack the necessary priviliges:
Jan 24 19:13:30 foo pulseaudio[3484]: main.c: We are not in group 'pulse-rt' and PolicyKit refuse to grant us priviliges. Dropping SUID 
again.
Jan 24 19:13:30 foo pulseaudio[3484]: main.c: For enabling real-time scheduling please acquire the appropriate PolicyKit priviliges, or 
become a member of 'pulse-rt', or increase the RLIMIT_NICE/RLIMIT_RTPRIO resource limits for this user.
Jan 24 19:13:30 foo pulseaudio[3484]: main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_NICE, (31, 31)) failed: Operationen inte tillåten
Jan 24 19:13:30 foo pulseaudio[3484]: main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_RTPRIO, (9, 9)) failed: Operationen inte tillåten
"

"Operationen inte tillåten" is Swedish for "Operation not permitted".

I would prefer if the default pulseaudio configuration didn't make pulseaudio
complain in the log files.
