Description Mark Lee 2006-09-06 18:23:38 UTC
When I run pulseaudio (0.9.5-r2) as a per-user daemon, I get the following error:

main.c: WARNING: called SUID root, but not in group 'realtime'.

Should the pulseaudio ebuild create a "realtime" group, or should it be mapped to another existing group, such as "audio", via ./configure?

I was skipping this because the realtime group could have different meanings. The current SVN uses pulse-rt as username, I'll just force the same behaviour on the 0.9.5 release and add a new revision with the user created.

Fixed in -r4.
