Bug#910512: pulseaudio: Pulseaudio takes longer to start than default systemd timeout

[Mr riaas mokiem]

 Here's the output:$ /usr/lib/rtkit/rtkit-test Max realtime priority is: 20
Min nice level is: -15
Rttime limit is: 200000 ns
before:
        SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK: no
        SCHED_OTHER with nice level: 0
Successfully became high priority.
after high priority:
        SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK: yes
        SCHED_OTHER with nice level: -10
Successfully became realtime.
after realtime:
        SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK: yes
        SCHED_RR with priority 10
I'm not sure where to find logs for rtkit during startup though. I also don't know if any recent system updates have changed this rtkit-test output since I reported this bug.

 I think I've got the log. I had to edit the main pulseaudio.service file because it was saying something about "bad unit" when I used the suggested command. And I could only find the logs in the main journalctl output (not with --user or --unit or --user-unit) so I just grepped on pulseaudio which is why the logs also contain some other lines (like dbus for pulseaudio). 

I made one log with the default timeout of systemd, showing that it times out, pulseaudio_system_log_timeout.txtI made another one where I set the timeout to 5 minutes, pulseaudio_system_log.txt
I hope this helps. It seems that the startup time went from below 90 seconds (default systemd timeout) to a bit more than 2 minutes. So I'm not sure if there was something else slowing down this startup even before I noticed this timeout.

I'm not sure what is going on. However, I see this:
Failed to acquire real-time scheduling: Input/output error
This suggests rtkit is for some reason not working properly. Could you run /usr/lib/rtkit/rtkit-test and copy the output?
The logs for rtkit during startup could be useful too.
