Summary : Support for running PulseAudio daemon system wide
Description :
PulseAudio daemon can be run as a system-wide instance which than can be shared
by multiple local users. We recommend running the PulseAudio daemon per-user,
just like the traditional ESD sound daemon. In some situations however, such as
embedded systems where no real notion of a user exists, it makes sense to use
the system-wide mode.
Before you now go ahead and use it please read about what is wrong with system
mode:
