Pulse audio?

[Rahul Sundaram]

Hi,

I wanted to try out pulse audio and it doesnt seem to work out of the 
box well.


---------------------------------------------------------------
Running it as non-root user

# pulseaudio
main.c: WARNING: called SUID root, but not in group 'realtime'.
main.c: Failed to create '/tmp/pulse-sundaram': Operation not permitted

Running it as root user

# pulseaudio
main.c: This program is not intended to be run as root (unless --system 
is specified).
module-alsa-sink.c: Error opening PCM device hw:0: Device or resource busy
module.c: Failed to load  module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: 
"device=hw:0 sink_name=alsa_output.pci_8086_24d5_alsa_playback_0"): 
initialization failed.

module.c: Failed to load  module "module-esound-protocol-unix"

-----------------------------------------------

All bright red intermixed warnings even. Are you supposed to run this 
thing directly or what?
