[Andreas Unterkircher]

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 0.9.19-2
Severity: minor


In /usr/share/doc/pulseaudio/README.Debian it is stated:

> priviledges in this way. It is highly recommended that all users that will
> be running pulseaudio should be add to the pulse-rt group to prevent
> skipping and dropouts in audio output. You should also enable the...
> But there isn't such a group:

unki at myhost:~$ getent group | grep -i pulse
audio:x:29:pulse,unki
pulse:x:123:
pulse-access:x:124:

Regards,
Andreas
