I don't have sys-auth/consolekit installed and I get a warning on boot (even though pulseaudio is not started) and the following error when I try to run pulseaudio: E: module.c: Failed to open module "module-console-kit": file not found As a workaround I commented line 85 in /etc/pulse/default.pa: load-module module-console-kit and the problem was fixed - pulseaudio started. The pulseaudio version I have is media-sound/pulseaudio-0.9.11-r2.

I don't run pulse at boot, though. A conditional statement will allow for conditional loading: .ifexists module-console-kit load-module module-console-kit .endif I got the idea from the lines that load other modules in default.pa. NOTE: some module loads are wrapped in ".nofail", ".fail". I don't know what that does; but those directives might be useful too. Since pulseaudio runs without consolekit, there should be no hard dependency. A dependency based on USE=consolekit flag might be helpful, though not really necessary if module-console-kit is loaded conditionally on the whether it exists or not.

Sorry this one's taken so long. I'll get it done in the next bump.
