Bug#705435: [kfreebsd] hangs on pulseaudio --start

[Steven Chamberlain]

Control: tags -1 + patch

The simple task of starting a pulseaudio daemon, seems to require
creation of a lockfile, using an additional thread to synchronise that,
then forking, doing the same again using two more threads, and forking
once more.

Happily I found a much, much simpler solution in FreeBSD ports, where a
similar problem had already been reported in this code.  The relevant
block is simply commented out and yet I don't notice any functional
difference.  Only that it works reliably and allows GDM3 and GNOME
sessions to start (have tested this on kfreebsd-amd64).

http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/audio/pulseaudio/files/patch-src_daemon_main.c?r1=231972&r2=231971&pathrev=231972

Please could we apply the same change (attached, commented and cleaned
up) for kFreeBSD, to fix this bug for wheezy.  The other patch I
suggested earlier is made unnecessary by this.

Thank you,
Regards,
