Bug#854327: pulseaudio: default configuration depends on consolekit

package: pulseaudio
severity: important
version: 10.0-1

Pulseaudio's default settings require the consolekit package to be
installed, but the package has no relationship to consolekit.

Without consolekit:
$ pulseaudio
[...]
E: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load module "module-console-kit"
(argument: ""): initialization failed
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Module load failed.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to initialize daemon.

To fix this, either the "load-module module-console-kit" line can be
commented in /etc/pulse/default.pa.  Or the consolekit package can be
installed, but there are a lot of setups where it's not needed or
wanted.

Best wishes,
Mike
