Configures pulseaudio in system mode #77

Closed andrewn closed 6 years ago

andrewn commented 6 years ago

This enables pulseaudio as a systemd service that is started on boot.

This mode is designed for embedded systems that aren't really multi-user. This is a workaround for a bug where two instances of pulseaudio are starting for the Pi user causing problems such as not being able to mute or set the sound level.

This makes sense for us, as this is essentially a single-user (pi) system.

For future reference, this is adding the pi user to the pluseaudio group.

Some online articles say to add it to the pulse and pulseaudio group but that doesn't exist on the Pi so it just adds to the pulse group.
