64 I use Gnome 3 as my DE and also run it as normal user. I use PulseAudio 2.0:
65
66 $ eix media-sound/pulseaudio
67 [I] media-sound/pulseaudio
68 Available versions: 0.9.22 0.9.22-r2 (~)0.9.23-r1 (~)1.1 1.1-r1 (~)2.0 **9999 {{+X +alsa +asyncns avahi bluetooth +caps dbus doc equalizer +gdbm +glib gnome ipv6 jack libsamplerate lirc +orc oss realtime ssl system-wide tcpd test +udev +webrtc-aec}}
69 Installed versions: 2.0(06:44:00 AM 05/27/2012)(X alsa asyncns caps dbus gdbm glib gnome lirc orc ssl tcpd udev webrtc-aec -avahi -bluetooth -doc -equalizer -ipv6 -jack -libsamplerate -oss -realtime -system-wide -test)
70 Homepage: http://www.pulseaudio.org/
71 Description: A networked sound server with an advanced plugin system
72
73 And pulseaudio is not in the runleves, even not in /etc/init.d.
74
75 Maybe, the pulseaudio is misconfigured. But I couldn't find any useful information on
76 how to generate the run-time file /.pulse in the configuration directory /etc/pulse.
77 Do you know how to generate them?
