- pulseaudio for Debian
- ---------------------
-
- The pulseaudio executable is installed suid root. This is the recommended
- configuration as it allows pulseaudio to run with realtime priority. After
- grabbing the realtime capability, pulseaudio drops all other root
- privileges. Only users in the pulse-rt group are granted realtime
- privileges in this way. It is highly recommended that all users that will
- be running pulseaudio should be added to the pulse-rt group to prevent
- skipping and dropouts in audio output. You should also enable the
- high-priority option in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf to ensure that pulseaudio is
- started with realtime priority.
-
- PLEASE NOTE: PulseAudio's default configuration uses high quality sample
- rate conversion that may be overly CPU intensive. If PulseAudio's CPU usage
- is unacceptable on your hardware, please change the resample-method option
- in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf to either src-linear or trivial. See daemon.conf
- for more details.

- In Ubuntu Jaunty, the default resampling option has been set to src-linear.
- Also note that per-user session daemon invocation is used (see comments in
- /etc/default/pulseaudio). If you wish to prevent per-user session daemons
- from being invoked, remember to edit /etc/pulse/client.conf and ensure that
- "autospawn = no" is present and uncommented.
