Preventing ConsoleKit from interrupting audio when switching consoles.

[William F. Acker WB2FLW +1 303 722 7209]

Hi all,

      I use speech output for reading the screen.  Currently, I'm using 
espeak compiled to use portaudio.  Whenever I switch consoles, I have to 
wait a few seconds for audio output to resume.  I understand that 
ConsoleKit is responsible for the delay while it figures out if I'm the 
same user and should be allowed to use the audio device.

      If anyone knows how to disable this behavior, or knows fore sure that 
ConsoleKit can't be configured to accomplish this, I'd really like to hear 
about it.  With respect, what I don't need to hear about is how desirable 
folks think the current behavior is and how I should learn to love it too.

      Pulseaudio won't help either, until it can be made to run 
system-wide.

           TIA.
